295249 - Reply tag (Name wrote:) does not pick up user specified composition font

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 204632

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Ray]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050511 Firefox/1.0.4

When a specific font has been selected as the default for outgoing HTML mail,
messages that are quoted in replies or forwarded messages carry the "Name
wrote:" tag in the system default font, not the font specified in Options. I
have not found a way to change this tag's font family or size.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.In Options, set the font in the Composition section to Arial/Helvetica and the
size to small.
2.Reply to an existing message.
3.Begin composing a message.

Actual Results:  
The message text appears in the specified font, but the "Name wrote" tag appears
in Times New Roman (which is the system default font on my computer).

Expected Results:  
The tag should pick up the same font as the default for message composition. Or,
add an option to change the attributes of the tag. Some users, for example, may
want to show the tag in a script font, in a different color, etc.

I can confirm this with version 1.0.2 (20050317). (Just remember to make
Thunderbird reply in HTML, obviously.)
