This would be a two-part process:

1. After initially creating the message view and loading the initial  
state of its style, walk its DOM tree and kill all font-* rules.
2. After inserting a message, walk the DOM tree and kill font-* rules  
again, but this time only affect the last element at each level  
instead of all elements.

That sounds like a huge runtime-waster, but obviously, I have not  
profiled this solution.

The other problem with it is that it would kill *all* font rules,  
including those for non-message text. It's fine for a message view  
style to use explicit fonts for anything other than messages (e.g.,  
the Trebuchet text in the GoneDark header).
