Outlook 2007 font question

[Poliwog]

Hello!

How in the name of whatever do I change the default display font for
plain-text in Outlook 2007? Messages currently display in some hideous
font called 'Consolas', which looks like dot-matrix printing. I have
checked in Help, on the MS Office site, etc. I can change the font for
outgoing HTML messages, but nowhere do I find a way to change plain-
text display format.

Tools->Options->Mail Format tab->Stationery and Fonts (by the way, F1 would have told you as well)

Thank you!

I DID read the Help file, but it is NOT obvious that changing the font
in Stationery will alter the display of incoming messages. And Help
gives only very general answers when I ask things like "change display
font?"

Changing stationery does not affect incoming messages.

Um, actually, it _does_ seem to change all of the display fonts. Not
sure why, but I am now reading messages in Arial. Nothing about this
in the Help file, but it works... At least I'm pretty sure it does.
I'm on the work machine now, with only 2003 on it.
