This _sounds_ like the same problem I was posting about a week or two  
ago. Test for similarity of bug: in msg box do "put the htmltext of  
fld '<fieldname>'" and look in the output for a bous "<font" tag  
added by Rev; it would hard-wire the current default (owner's) font.  
Further test: is this in a substack? If yes to both, that's the bug I  
posted. (Solution found later: pre-hard-wire the default font in the  
substack.)
