In the middle of email correspondence one evening, I lost the ability to see font colors in my email messages using Windows Mail with Vista (32). Does anyone know how to get this back?

Check your settings for sending and receiving email. Is is set for plain text only or HTML? If it's the former, that's your problem.

The settings are on HTML. Interestingly (an annoyingly!) something happened in the course of emailing - I did not (deliberately) change any settings. The receipients of my emails can see the color fonts, but all replies come back to me in black, which, when doing back & forth correspondence can be confusing. At that time, I also lost the few default "stationery" background options that came with Windows Mail.
