Not every plain-text message is broken down into  .moz-text-plain pre  blocks.
If the message has been sent with (and displayed with) format=flowed, the text 
is in a DIV of class="moz-text-flowed", with no <pre> sub-blocks.

You can use the DOM inspector to inspect a message window; tunnel down into the 
'vbox' element with id 'messagesBox' into the 'browser' subelement; then you can 
examine the items in the BODY to see what their classes, ids and styles are.

does this imply better using

* {
  font-size: 8pt !important;
}

to catch all text definition tags possible?
