Are you composing with stationery? If so, then the stationery may dictate
the font over what you choose as default. Try Message | New Message | Using
| No stationery and see if that gives you the correct font.

Hi,

I'm having a problem with fonts that I've selected for my mail messages -
they are not used in the actual message.

I've gone into Tools, Options, Compose and chosen a font and size for my
email messages. However, when I go to open a new message and compose it,
the font has defaulted to Times New Roman 12pt, which is not the font and
size that I had selected.

Can anyone help me with this? Is there something I'm missing?

Thanks,

Colleen L
