Can't Change Fonts When Reading Messages
 

When I go into tools-options-read-fonts to change the font in fixed width
font from Courier New to Lucida Console nothing happens. The email message
still displays in Courier New

Change the Proportional Font and check Read in Plain Text. You won't see a
change in HTML.

I also installed IE8 Beta 2. Could that have caused the font problem?

Are you running WinXP SP2, WinXP SP3, Vista, or Vista SP1?

Are you referring to Outlook Express, Windows Mail (Vista), or Windows Live
Mail?

Did you get the font you want doing what I suggested? WYSIWYG. You either
read everything in Plain Text, or not.

Are you concerned about reading messages, or when you compose messages?

When you are reading messages, if you read in Plain Text, you see the font
you selected as I suggested. If you are reading in HTLM, you see the font
the sender used.
