| | Re: Setting default font for email You should be able to choose the compose font under Tools, Options, Compose, Font Setting. If you have installed the IE8 beta, it will disable font settings. -- Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP "wcweeks" <wcweeks@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:8A1E9334-A720-4562-831E-C6AC436EDBA4@xxxxxx Quote: > Composing email. > > > > "Gary VanderMolen" wrote: > Quote: >> Font for what? >> Reading email, composing email, or actual sent email? >> The latter is only affected by using HTML rather than plain text. >> >> -- >> Gary VanderMolen, MS-MVP >> >> >> "wcweeks" <wcweeks@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:BB0E0D5A-55FC-42BB-879E-1E036A7BD9CB@xxxxxx Quote: >> >I can't seem to get Windows Mail to accept my setting of a preferred font for >> > the default.
