Hi, Ratboy,
You are an assiduous researcher. I am grateful for that in you.The 'Inside Outlook Express' is a great site.
It, however, raises more questions in me! Since in my 'View' (i.e in Outlook Express) that option is grayed-out. I shall have to jiggle settings to see what brings it back as an option. And after so doing:
In Tools|Options|Read and in Fonts I have selected Proportional font 'Verdana' and Fixed-width font Lucida Console. My e-mails in and my compositions look identical. Checking the Fonts it
is Lucida Console. Which tells me the Verdana setting will only apply if that choice is made in View
and in a message received - though why one would want to change the font in a message incoming when one has already specified in Tools|Options|Read that one wants all messages to be read in plain text just eludes me at the moment!
But I feel, even think, with your prompting, Ratboy, I have made progress.
My thanks, and best wishes for the holidays.
PS. Verdana (my proportional font choice) looks (in Fonts) to be identical to Lucida Console. More to come, here, I guess!!
