Hello OE users. I have set my format preferences for font and color the way

I want them, but they don't always come up the way I set them. When I

respond to a message or start a new message, I don't get the font and color

I selected. But I do sometimes when writing certain people. What's going on?

Can you help?

Thanks,

Rainy Sue

OE is based on Microsoft Word. If you hit 'reply' to a message, you will get

the font and color of the previous message, where if you start an entirely

new message, you will start with your settings.

At least that is what I think is going on....

that?)

Rainy Sue,

Have you set your preferences under Mail Format, so you always reply using

your font? This is the only thing I can think of.

Rainy,

Have you done the following:

1) Under Tools/Options/Send, have you unchecked " Reply to messages in the

format in which they were sent " ?

2) Under Tools/Options/Compose, have you set you mail " Compose Font " and

mail " Stationery " ?

,

I had done the 2nd one but not the first one! Thank you, I fixed that! It

seems to have worked using the font I want, but not the color.
