Help Outlook Express remember your fonts


Q I can't get my Outlook Express to remember the typeface and font size I want to use. It always reverts to whatever the default settings are.

- Arthur Dillon

A To get Outlook Express to use your font as the default, you must set the program to send your e-mail in HTML format. Select Tools-Options and click the Send tab. Under 'Mail Sending Format' click beside HTML and click OK. Now select Tools-Compose and click next to Mail. Click Select and pick your favourite "stationery" or page layout. Note: though most up-to-date e-mail programs support HTML, not everyone uses an up-to-date program, nor will all systems display the same fonts. For business purposes, it's common practice to use plain-text e-mail. If you'd rather not limit yourself to this, specify in the address book that you want the program to send e-mail to designated recipients as plain text. To do this, under the Personal tab for an individual's address book entry, select Send e-mail using plain text only.

Caption: Formatted e-mail in Outlook Express is possible only when you enable HTML
