On replies & forwards - annoying blue text

[Alan B.]

When I reply to an email, it uses annoying blue text. I can't see anyplace
that I can turn that off. I have Outlook 2000. Does anyone know something
about how to stop this annoying behavior?

Regards,
Alan

Easy fix--Tools, Options, Mail Format tab, Fonts, Select Fonts. Select your
font, color for reply or anything else.

Mary,

I looked, and looked, and looked - right past this one. Thank you!
