Hmmm, a possible reason: maybe you _don't have_ the same font that was
originally used to write the message. (You can check by looking at the
source code of the original message).

I didn't test this, but a reasonable hypothesis for what is happening
would be:

- Message asks for a font you dont't have (say, Helvetica, which is
rarely available on Windows or Linux but not uncommon in Macs)
- Netscape displays message using a substitute font (like, for instance,
Arial) -- there are font substitution tables to handle common cases like
this, replacing fonts with roughly similar ones.
- You open message for replying. E-mail HTML editor can't find the
original font.
- HTML editor falls back to _your default_ font, which may be different
from the substitute font it used for display.
