You don't state your version of Outlook, but with Outlook 2003, see if this
helps: Click Tools>Options>Mail Format>Fonts and select the "Always use my
fonts" radio button. I don't know that that will do what you want, as I
can't try it, but it's the closest thing I can see.
Thanks Brian, I am using Outlook 2003 and it seems I already have the
radio button setting selected for 'Always use my fonts.'
Now I am puzzled! When I get certain incoming messages, normally those
with non-standard fonts Outlook pauses for a few seconds before
displaying the message. I suspected it was fetching/downloading the
fonts but perhaps this is not the case. The pause is just a nuisance
as it slows the rate at which I can discard the unwanted messages in t
he inbox.
In 99% of cases these messages are junk so I was prepared to configure
Outlook so that it cannot properly display messages with anything
other than a handful of standard fonts; arial, courier etc ...
