Why, when I make a table in a Thunderbird message, does it now make everything within the table larger, even though it doesn't look like that on my computer?

I have been using Thunderbird to send e-mail newsletters to members of an organization I work for. To do that, I have been using tables to make a coherent looking newsletter. Suddenly, sometime recently in an update or something, ALL OF THE TEXT that is inside the table comes out larger when it is sent. So all my formatting goes to hell. Anything that is OUTSIDE a table, however, looks the same as when I typed it, so it isn't the general formatting of Thunderbird. I have to save everything as a draft (several times, usually) just to try to get it to look right.
I am including two screenshots to illustrate what I mean. The first, called "compose.jpg" shows how I had to adjust the font size to make the tables work as I had intended. This is what I see when I am composing an email newsletter, not the larger font that appears once the email is saved. The second, called "draft.jpg" shows how this same (exact) email looks when it is saved or sent. (This one is saved as a draft.) Notice that the text at the bottom of the message has NOT been enlarged because it is outside the table.

No, the signature is not the issue, it is only an example of the issue. Compare the text size in the "compose" image with that in the "draft" image. For whatever reason, text placed in a table is magnified to be much larger than what I see when I compose it. But ONLY in a table. This means that I must juggle the size of the text after I prepare an e-mail newsletter (using tables for formatting) or it won't look like I expect it to.
This only began to happen sometime late last fall, which is why I wonder if it came as a by-product of some update. What I would like is to be able to specify that the text size I enter in the table remains that size when the email with the table is sent, preferably as a permanent specification, and not necessary every time I do one of these.
