User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040113

I use Mozilla 1.6 under Windows XP Professional.

As described, there seems to be a bug insofar as the composition fo mail is
concerned as when I test a message by sending it to one of my accounts, I
receive a message which has reverted to the default font and not to the one it
was composed under.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Write a message (it works as the font has been preescribed, in this cas, as
Architect)
2.Send the message to one of my e-mail addresses
3.The message received has lost its original font and attribute of large...

Does the recipient have that font on their computer?

Fonts are not sent with the message.  The recipient's computer will substitute a
font it thinks is close.  You should stick to common Microsoft fonts to be safe.
 Or send a PDF or a Word Document saved with fonts embedded.

Most fonts are copyrighted, and it would be illegal to distribute them with the
message. 

Also, you are reporting an error on a version that's over a year old, and not
being updated anymore.  Please read the bug reporting guidelines, test on a
current version, make sure you understand how fonts work, and then file bug again.

MARKING INVALID.
