Outlook shows you mail in the format it was sent in (unless you choose to
see it all as Plain Text). You can set the font for Plain Text emails he
Tools menu Options Mail Format Fonts. That just controls how you see
it not how the recipient/sender sees it

Hi I want to read all my received mails ( from imap folder) in html or
rich
text. My MS outlook automatically displays all mails in plain text,
courier
10. So everytime I reply to message it is in same and I have to select
html
version. In outlook express which I was using before I could set that all
replies should be in Times New Roman 12 . How do I do that in MS outlook ?
