 I am using Debian GNU Linux 2.2, Which Linux Distribution do you use ?
 If you tell me Linux Distribution which you are using.
 I will install OS which you are using , and I will setting up the
 font environment. and I will report to you the environment.

 By the way , If you have a few time , Please do it.

 (1) Please execute kcontrol.

        Language: English US (C)

     and push apply button and exit kcontrol .

 (2) Please execute kmail.

    Select Settings -> Configurations -> Appearance -> Fonts
      Location      : Message Body 
      Font          : jis-fixed    ( if you are enable, )
      Font style    : Regular
      Size          : 15
      Character set : default

    and apply.
