Font will not stay as set for outgoing Email????

I change the Font under format but when I start a new Email it reverts back
to this tiny little font in black. I have to then reselect the font I want
under format or by manualy setting the font and size??? Why won't it stay on
the font I select?

Re: Font will not stay as set for outgoing Email????

Here is just my speculation. What you did as you described was formatting a
setting ONLY for that e-mail. Next subsequent e-mails will go back to
Original font setting.
Perhaps you should do it this way :
( Read message window, not composing new e-mail window ) Tools > Options >
Compose > Font Settings. Make you settings there. > OK > OK

I tried that. I think the problem is hat I was using staytionary and that was
overriding my font choice. Not sure why I can't have my staytionary AND font
of my choice at the same time though???

You can. Use the IE Options, Accessibility dialog
to ignore font styles specified on webpages.


Good luck

Re: Font will not stay as set for outgoing Email????

Tools, Options, Compose, Select, highlight your stationery, edit.
I opened Southwest.htm.

<HTML>
<HEAD>
<STYLE>
BODY {
font-family: Segoe UI;
font-size: 10pt;
color: 000000;
margin-left: 10 px;
margin-top: 115 px;
background-position: top left;
background-repeat: repeat;
}
</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY id="ridBody" background="cactustile.jpg">
</BODY>
</HTML>

Your options would be to delete the font code:
font-family: Segoe UI;
font-size: 10pt;
color: 000000;

or change to the font style, size, color that you want.
Save the changes.
