Outlook Express Font Control
Try Western European (Windows).

I use Western Europe ISO but changing encoding to UTF-7 or 8 makes it OK,
however it makes all the fonts look different so I don't do it. What
encoding would you recommend in general, I never can figure out what is
the
best to use.

What encoding have you selected?
Pete B wrote:
No luck. I turned off all Accessibility options, no change.
I think WYSIWYG is going to be the case no matter what I do unless I
select
a different encoding.
Thanks PA Bear and all.....

If IE Tools | Internet Options | General | Appearance | Accessibility |
User style sheet | Format documents using... =this option is enabled,
disable it and see if the behavior persists. If it doesn't, WYSIWYG.

My newsgroup posting (sending) format is plain text, but my Mail
sending
format is HTML.
My compose font settings for both mail and news are Arial Rounded MT
Bold,
10, Bold (not Bold/Italic).
I have three identities already set up, all are the same. However, I
use
CSSs for IEx so maybe the Accessibility options are a factor, I will
test
it
(but if that is the problem, I will have to lkive with it because I am
not
going to give up CSSs). What are the recommended settings for the
HTML
and
Text send options esp. for encoding? Would that affect this? I can
test
that too.
Also I should mention that this does not happen with all fonts. A
fixed
font is no problem, and even other TT fonts work OK.

You posted here in Plain Text, not RichText/HTML. (As Bruce
observes,
RTF
is found in OL, not OE.)
Assuming you're NOT using any Stationery, when composing an email or
news
message *in HTML format* (only), the font is controlled by your
settings...
OE Tools | Options | Compose | Compose font | [Mail or News] | Font
Settings =here
When reading an HTML message, the font is controlled by the sender of
the
message
When reading a Plain Text message, the font is controlled by your
settings...
OE Tools | Options | Read | Fonts | Font =here
All of the above assumes:
1. IE Tools | Internet Options | General | Appearance | Accessibility
=nothing here is checked/enabled; and...
2. A non-Italic font is selected IE Tools | Internet Options |
General
Appearance | Fonts =here.
Then we have...
OLEXP: The Font Size Changes When You Press ENTER in a New Message:

OLEXP: Default Font Size Is Not Applied in a New HTML E-mail Message:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/240730
OLEXP: Cannot Change Text Format Using Outlook Express:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/178895
And if STILL no joy, see if the behavior persists in a new identity:
OE
File | Identities | Add new identity.

I am using Outlook Express in IE7 as my email client. Since it was
updated
awhile back from a service pack, I have a problem with composing
and/or
reading received emails in both plain text and HTML format. I use
Arial
Black 12 as my text message font for RTF messages, like this
message,
but
I
am unable to get the text to display as non-italicized characters.
All
the
text I enter appears as italics, and the toolbar I(talics) button
and
text
formatting commands do not allow me to display anything without
italics.
Ecery HTML message I receive appears as italics, too, and this
occurs
with
arial bold fonts in other styles too. Is there some reason I cannot
display
anything in Arial Black in standard unitalicized form: BTW I have
both
font
styles installed for Arial Black, the standard and the Italicized.
This is not a major problem, but it does annoy me because i cannot
actually
italicize any text deliberately and selectively, it is instead all
italics.
This occurs both in emails and newsgroup messages.
