Unless it's a global call, you can override the CSS settings within the <div> or even <span> tags. Since the <div> in your example has an ID you can add a class attribute such as:
Code:
<div id="post_message_141" class="msgfont">
And place the CSS in Main CSS "Additional CSS Definitions" as:
Code:
.msgfont {
font-family:verdana, helvetica, arial; /* or whatever font type you want */
}
Or
Code:
<div id="post_message_141" style="font-family:verdana, helvetica, arial">
See if that works.
