Unfortunately, yes. Font, size and colour will be transmitted along
with formatting, such as bold, underline, itlaics etc. This is one of
the "beautiful" features of HTML email. Some people want this, for
reasons that I don't know. But hey, this is a free country/internet.

I just had to ask a customer (!) to use a more sensible font, because
her new choice made it almost impossible for me (not the youngest any
more) to read her emails. She apologized and changed back to the font
she had used in previous emails, so there is no problem any more.

Other business contacts just post their holidays in another font than
the text, i.e. make it bold, two sizes bigger, and red. This all
arrives as intended (but not appreciated by me) over here.

And for those who said that the fonts don't travel with the message:
Try to enable the HTML viewer in your TB!. I have it enabled, because
I receive many emails in which formatting is needed, for example
tables.

Thomas.
