I think it is a function of how the original mails were received. You 
can fix it by adjusting the preferences in your mail program (I will 
assume you are using "Mail," the default program for OS X). Under 
"Viewing," uncheck the box that says "display images and embedded 
objects in HTML messages." This will make all your mail from this list 
appear in a uniform font and size (which you set under "Fonts and 
Colors" in preferences).

Any of the major ISPs with good marks from Consumer Reports should do 
you fine. Most Mac people seem to like Earthlink because of the 
mac-friendly tech support and loads of national numbers. I've never 
needed to call tech support with a Mac for an ISP so I wouldn't know 
from first-hand experience.

There are a couple of Mac-specific dialup ISPs. I have a client who 
uses Syracuse.net and seems happy with it:
http://www.syracusenet.net/

It's $55 for six months, which works out to $9.17/month. Hard to beat, 
and they have 600 phone numbers nationwide.

Another client uses AppleISP.net and has been very happy with them, 
solid reliable 56K connections for $14.95/month. http://www.appleisp.net

Finally, I noticed this:

They claim $4.95/month for unlimited dialup and Mac support. No 
personal experience.
