never happens.
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.
This seems a very probable explanation. Indeed the changed to font is
always my default font and it only happens when composing in a non
default font.
The real question is why did this behavior change from x.21 to x.25.
Also what seems to have changed between these two version is my default
email font and default Newsgroup font (where I am composing this) are
different. They used to be the same.
