The default (compose) font is Arial 10 point. That is used for both the
body text and signature text on (new) outgoing messages. However, I've just
noticed that, on using 'Reply', 'Reply All' or 'Forward', whilst the body
text is Arial 10 point the signature text is Times New Roman 12 point. I
can't see where I can change this default setting. (I don't want to change
it every time it is used). Any ideas please?

Thanks.

Bill do you have "reply in same format" selected at toolsoptionssend,

I hadn't got "reply in same format" selected. I tried this and the
signature text was still not the same as the default.,still got

The original signature text was set up in Outlook Express not an imported
HTML file so, unfortunately there is no file to edit.

Any more ideas please why the signature text is in a different font and size
to the one set up in OE when I either 'Reply', 'Reply to Group' or
'Forward'.

Thanks.

Hi Bill,

What format do you use for sending (Rich Text (HTML) or Plain Text)? It's
impossible to dictate what the recipient will see using a plain text
signature. These font settings are set by the recipient. Using Plain Text
what you see before sending is transient in nature. If you send using Rich
Text (HTML) would you consider using an HTML file for your signature?

I would suspect that's coming about because you are replying to an HTML
message and the original message specified the Times New Roman. You can
verify that by looking at the message source (Ctrl-F3) for the original
message.

If you want to force the font in your signature, edit the HTML file for
the signature and specify the desired font there.
