Default Fonts in messages

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

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.

Colleen (or anyone else who can help!):
Were you ever able to solve your font problem? I have virtually the same
problem, except that my New message defaults automatically to Arial 10-point.
I've gone through the same steps that you did (Tools, Options, Compose and
chosen Rockwell 12-point for my New messages), but it still defaults (only in
a New message, not in a Reply) to Arial 10-point. I can then change it for
that single new message, but that's a pain. I want it to default to Rockwell
12-point when I open up a new message.
If you corrected your problem, how did you do it? The suggested methods
below did not seem to work!

Are you using Stationery (Tools, Options, Compose)? If so, any font in
the stationery would override your settings.

Thanks, but I've tried all that (and it's not just the wrong font *size*,
but also the wrong *font*!), and I'm not using stationery (just "Blank").

Having *Blank* checked in the Stationery section is just as bad. Uncheck
/everything/ in the Stationery section of Compose.

To expand on what Bruce said, BLANK does not mean no stationery. BLANK
is one of the stationery files that comes with OE and it does specify
the font to use.
