OE is driving me nuts.
I am able to change the font,size and color on one computer but not
another.
The problem computer allows me to change and save the type and size, but
every time I compose it defaults to black.
I have to change it manually every time.
No problem with my second computer and the settings are exactly alike and
both are running the same versions.
HELLLLPPPP????????
