Whenever I copy something from Mozilla, be it the text from a web page or from
the location bar, etc, when I paste it into AIM or Eudora it shows up as Lucida
Grande, 14 pt instead of that program's default (those are the two programs that
are generally pasted into, though AppleWorks and others display the same problem).

It is quite annoying to have to be constantly resetting my AIM font, or making
text pasted into an email match the rest of the email. This has only happened
since the 1.2 versions of Mozilla (I believe) and does not occur with other
browsers (ever Chimera). Please look into it. Even a workaround would be
acceptable, but I have not found any associated font settings.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy text from Mozilla.
2. Paste it into AIM, Eudora, AppleWorks, etc
3. Watch it show up in Lucida Grande

Actual Results:  
Copied the correct text as 14 pt Lucida Grande.

Expected Results:  
Pasted it as 12-pt Palatino into AIM, "normal" Geneva into Eudora, etc.
