How do I change the default font for plain text message?

[Guest]

When I edit the plain text message in inbox and change it to html, Outlook
switches the font to Times New Roman. I then have to edit message again and
change the font back to Courier New. Is there a way to keep Outlook from
changing the font or change the default to Courier New so I don't have to
edit the message twice?

1) change to HTML prior to editting
or
2) under the heading HTML

The default font is tied to the default font of the browser.

and in Outlook
Tools-->Options-->Mail Format--> Fonts

I took all the steps and it still converts to Times New Roman. Should I
delete Times New Roman from Front file?

Well, I changed normal.dot and email.dot to Courier New, IE webpage font to
Courier New, Outlook mail format font to Courier New. When I "edit message"
from plain text to html it still converts to Times New Roman. I also use
Firefox browser for which I also changed the font to Courier New. Can anyone
think of what else I can do?
