What would I set on Microsoft Outlook so that it is always FORMATTED?

Currently, I get messages in Ariel 12, which is fine. However, my response
is limited to Ariel 12 also. If I want my response, let's say in Comic Sans
12, I have to:

1. Format » Rich Text

[the message goes to the typeface Ariel 10]

2. NOW I can format for the typeface I want to use for my reply: I set
the typeface to Comic Sans 12.

Before, I could not set the reply typeface that was different than the
typeface I received the message in. (MS Outlook is set at the factory to use
TNR 12. I set the program to use Ariel 12.)

While not fatal, I must go through a lot of rigamarole to get the typeface
that I want to use for my reply. What would I set on MS Outlook so that it
is always formatted so I can change the typeface?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

P.S. I may send this query to the Outlook Configuration newsgroup.
