Default font size in Windows Mail

[Diana]

Hi, does anyone know how to permanently set a default font size in Windows
Mail? My Windows Mail default font is 10 but I would prefer it to be 12.
However there does not seem to be an option to change it to 12
automatically, instead of remembering to reset it before starting to type an
email. thank you

I'm having the same problem getting Live Mail to recognize my choice for a
different font (Comic Sans) for my outgoing emails. Help!

Tools,options,compose, mail (Top row) font sttings, change it to what you
want, then click apply (at the bottom) then ok. Hope that helps.

Yep, tried that - but every time I compose a new email, it still comes out
Ariel instead of Comic Sans. Does it have something to do with the default
signature I have on each new email? The signature option gave me no way to
edit the font of the signature.

When you compose a new email, is it in HTML or plain text format?
Check your Tools, Options, Send, Mail Sending Format.

Tools - Options - Compose
Compose font - Mail:

but if you use Stationery, the stationery font will be used.
You can edit the stationery to change the default font size.

I can't duplicate what you are seeing.
Under Tools, Options, Compose, make sure that no stationery
is selected because it overrides the font selection.

The other possibility is that you are using some type of security
software that is preventing writes to the registry. That would
prevent your font selection from being saved.
