It starts out in Hiragino (because my computer is set to Japanese). It
stays in Hiragino for the Latin run (even though I have configured
Georgia in mail). Then it changes to LiSong at 发 and stays there
(including the Arabic "12"). Suddenly at 预 it changes to STKaiti and
stays there. So Mail manages to present three different typefaces for
Latin text, none of them the Georgia I configured.
I am guessing the last change to STKaiti has to do with simplified
versus traditional Chinese. I have traditional before simplified in my
language list. Of course, Mail has no idea that the text is simplified
Chinese, so it has to do some guessing.
Mail.app uses WebKit for all its rendering. (The "compose mail" pane is,
in fact, the WebKit HTML editor.) So in theory, it should behave
somewhat like Safari, if you told Safari to render that block of UTF8
text and didn't give it any other hints. I haven't tested this theory
though :)
