Still a new user of MS Mail trying to figure it all out . . .

I have my fonts set for Ariel MT Rounded Bold for all mail, but whenever I
get some reformatted mail, such as a daily news headlines mail I receive, it
defaults to a *very* small font that is hard for me to read. I have gone
through all the settings, but can not find a way to set the program to
default to MY fonts, and not use the senders.

What am I missing here, and is there way to do this?

Thanks in advance . . .

I don't think you have any control over the font that mail is sent to
you in... BICBW. Maybe forwarding the mail to yourself and changing the font
before you send it?

If the received email was composed with HTML, you are stuck with
the author's font choice.

Once you have finished typing your reply try this....
Highlight your message; go up to Format; and select Rich Text (HTML).

This reverts the text back to my font .... But I wonder if it still shows
up as my font on the receiving end? I'm going to try it with this reply
to you. Let's see if the font displays as Century Gothic 10.
