Details

Send yourself a text/html email containing the following lines:

<html>
<head>
<style type='text/css'>
body {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.81em;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<p>Some text</p>
</body>
</html>

The words "Some text" will be shown in your default font, not as 0.81em Arial.
If the line

body {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.81em;}

was changed to

p {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.81em;}

, or if the text was inside a table, and the line was changed to

td {font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.81em;}

, "Some text" would be 0.81em Arial. This leads to different fonts being used
for pieces of text that was intended to be shown in the same font, and that is
annoying.
I can no longer reproduce this.
