I selected a stationary background for my OE Express and everytime I
want to send a New Message that stationary comes up just fine. However
the Text color and size that I selected under OptionsCompose (and
saved) are NOT coming up when I want to send a New Email Message. I am
set for HTML on Mail so all settings should be fine. Just cannot get my
text setting to come up when I want to send a New Mail Message.

Thank you for any advice!

If you are using stationery, some default to a specific font and size and
you can't change that.

If you use stationery, specify the font and size in the stationery.

You need to change the default font in the stationery.
