Could other with a Mac please give this a go to see if my observation is local to my machine alone?

Create a new stack in LC8 and place a field.
Open the message box and enter...
	 set the htmltext of fld 1 to "this is <b>bold</b> and this is <i>italic</i>"

You should see 
      this is bold and this is italic
(assuming the styles survive the emailing)
Now open the PI for the field and click on the FONT tab.
I think by default the font is called "Text" and it is one of the Lc named options.
Now change the font to "system".

Do the styles remain visible in the field?

Repeat the above with LC 9

For me...
With LC8 the styles disappear.
With LC9 they don't.
