My outlook express compose font is arial with size 12. It shows up
correctly when I create the mail. However when people receive it. It
shows at times new roman size 10. what could be the problem. The
person who receive the mail also have the setting of arial both compse
and read option.

thx

What version of OE are you using? You posted in the newsgroup for OE4,
but few people still use that version. If you don't know what version
you have, look in Help, About Outlook Express.

Does the message display correctly in your Sent Items folder?

Are you composing in Plain Text or HTML format? You can check that out
while composing a message by looking at Format. If you compose in Plain
Text, no font information is stored or sent with the message.

What version of Outlook Express is the recipient using?

If you are composing in HTML format, but you or the recipients have OE6
and selected Tools, Options, Read, Read All Messages In Plain Text, then
the HTML font settings are ignored.
