I had this same problem and it drove me nuts.  My problem is that when I
reply to an existing email, the font will be "Helvetica, Arial".  This
is what's listed when I go to Edit --> Preferences --> Composition -->
General --> HTML --> Font.  But if I click away from the body of the
email, even if I click to another part of the composition window such as
the subject box, as soon as I click back to the body, the font will
change to some kind of serif font.  It says "Variable Width" in the font
box.  I think it's whatever font is listed in Edit --> Preferences -->
Display --> Formatting --> Fonts --> Default font.  My configuration
says the default font is "serif."

If I type a completely new message, I don't seem to have the problem as
much.

My solution was to simply set the font settings in the locations I
mentioned above to the same font.  So I went to Edit --> Preferences -->
Display --> Formatting --> Fonts --> Default font, set it to Arial, and
it hasn't happened again, yet--it wasn't that long ago that I made the
change, so we'll see how well it works.
