Vista - Windows Live Hotmail: Default Font

I recently purchased a new HP Pavilion and am running Vista Home Premium.

Since I no longer have access to Outlook Express, I'm trying out Windows
Live Hotmail…and the jury's still out!

Right now I'm trying to figure out how to change the default font size. I
know how to change the font size once an email has been composed and is ready
to send, but I haven't been able to configure it to change the default font
size, so that new emails will be created using a different (larger) font.

Please be as specific as possible. Many thanks!

This forum deals with Windows Mail, not Windows Live Hotmail.

That option is not available in the web interface for Live Hotmail.
Your only changeable options for mail are:
Language, reading pane, signature, save sent msg, sort, reply address and
mobile alerts.
In the future, questions about Msn/Msft http mail should be posted in the
following forum. The link below will properly setup OE or Windows Mail in
nntp format. news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...msn.discussion

Thanks for the answer and sorry I posted in the wrong area.
