You have (correctly) sent a plain text e-mail, which doesn't preserve
any font information...

Just for clarification.  A font family 'Foo' traditionally consists of
'Foo Regular', 'Foo Bold', 'Foo Italic', and 'Foo Bold Italic'.  Some
font families contain *much* more series – Computer Modern (CM) is
such an example[1] – others contain only a single one.  The PDFs as
produced by texinfo use CM (plus some other, additional fonts, as
mentioned in a previous e-mail).

Note that 'CMU Concrete' is a completely different thing; while based
on CM, it is not part of it.  With 'part of it' I mean that
historically it wasn't part of the fonts that TeX has started many
years ago.

What I'm talking about has nothing to do with font versions.

[1] To be more precise, CM is a collection of various font families.
