Default will they see arial in my emails or not?

Opened an html email made in OE in my machine 1 highlited text and shows
Arial 10.
Opened same email in my pc 2 and doing same thing shows Times New Roman.

Is that a thing about settings in OE? What will common people see in my
email Arial or Times?

Are you viewing this in Drafts, or Sent Items? Define "highlighted text".
What do you see if it isn't highlighted?

Tools | Options | Compose & Tools | Options | Send | Mail Sending Format |
HTML Settings. Are both machines set up identically? Are both machines
reading in HTML? Tools Options | Read. Uncheck Read all messages in Plain
Text on both computers.

If Arial is the default on your machine, then the message will not stipulate
Arial as the default font, so if someone else has TNR as the default font,
they will see TNR. You would have to explicitly specify Arial.

You can do a CTRL-F2 on the message to check the HTML.

In general you cannot (MUST NOT) assume that recipients see what you send.

I have my own 'extreme' example. When instead of downloading my e-mail into
OE I view my messages on my ISP's server via the web I see only plain text
in courier in black & white. Thus an exchange where the correspondent has
replied within my text in another colour without further identification
becomes a mess.

Especially in critical messages never ever assume anything (good general
rule in life but particularly applicable to computing).

To use an analogy from the early days of colour TV, by all means film in
colour but in such a way that anyone watching in black and white can still
identify what your are transmitting.

For critical messages send in plain text and make use of the limited methods
available for layout/formatting, such as breaking up the text with
paragraphs, double-spacing between paras, block capitals, hyphens or dashes
as bullet points...

I have set OE to display messages in plain text. Thus, OE displays messages
in whichever font is the default.
