As you're going in via the "tools" menu, i asume you want to make 'global'
font changes. ie. you want to use the new font in ALL you're e-mails.
There are 2 'pop-ups' with this, so its easy to miss a selection - ok, lets
go:
Go into WinMail.
Select: "Tools" menu.
At the bottom of that list, select: "Options"
From the top of the next window, select: "Compose" tab.
Next, there are TWO "Font Settings" tabs - For Mail, Select the TOP one.
(This is where another 'pop-up' window apears)
Change your; Font, Font Style, Size and Colour (as required)
When done, click the "ok" button" (this 'pop-up' will now dissapear and you
should be back at the "Compose" panel)
The buttons at the bottom of the "Compose" pannel are now active, so:
First click on: "Apply"
THEN click on "Ok"
Now try and compose a new e-mail - you should find that the new settings
will take over.
Good luck, have fun & let me know how you get on.
