I'm not Benny, but I think I know the reason...

If you use the "Embed" functionality of the MailMate composer and reply 
to a HTML message, MailMate starts the reply message with a pristine 
full copy of the original message's HTML. If you do any editing that 
requires modification of that object or simply a fresh rendering of the 
HTML that MailMate generates itself, the embedded message can get 
redrawn differently than it was when initially starting the composition. 
I'm unsure *WHY* that redrawing results in the appearance changing, nut 
I have watched it happen.
