That you don't understand the facts doesn't change them ;-)

Let me explain: Thunderbird is client software that sits on top of
Mozilla core software. The so-called "editor" that is used in
Thunderbird when writing an e-mail messase is Mozilla core software. It
is also used in Firefox: Please go to http://www-
archive.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/ to check that even in Firefox you
can "write".

The problem happens when losing the font goes unnoticed while writing.
You will notice it when reading a reply that contains your original ill-

Title:
  composer changes font mid email

Status in Mozilla Thunderbird Mail and News:
  Fix Released
Status in thunderbird package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  As I'm typing my emails in Thunderbird, I can see what appears to be a
  font size change on screen, normally in the second line of text. The
  second line appear smaller than the first. It's barely perceptible, so
  half them time I think I am imagining it.

  Well, I've started Bccing to myself to check, and the emails I am
  receiving from myself are not only a different size, they're also a
  different font. Composer starts in some default serif, and by the
  second line is sans. I'd bee glad to email someone viz thunderbird,
  and also send along a screenshot of how it looks while I am typing.

  Thanks.
