Can't change font settings

I have repeatedly changed the font settings for my composed messages through
the tools menu. Yet every time I compose a new message the default settings
are applied and I have to manually change everything to the way I want it.
Any suggestions?

Re: Can't change font settings

Are you composing a plain text message or a HTML message?
Are you running one of the IE8 betas?

Re: Can't change font settings

My settings say that I'm composing HTML.
And I'm using IE7. I don't touch betas. I'd rather wait for a finished
product before using it.

Re: Can't change font settings

The only other cause for that problem is using the stationery option.
The stationery option overrides your font selection.

Re: Can't change font settings

Gary
You say that the stationery option overides your font selection. Is there a
reason for this?

Re: Can't change font settings

I'm not a stationery expert, so I'm just passing on what I heard.

Re: Can't change font settings

Many (perhaps most) stationary files internally specify a font or fonts
to use. That's part of the stationery design. If you want to use a
different font with a stationery you edit the stationery HTML file.

The compose fonts are for when using HTML format messages without
stationery.
