outlook + font color

[oatesj77]

minor irritation with outlook, when i reply to a message, my font sometimes defaults to blue. i've been able to add custom signatures to both new and reply messages, but didn't see any formatting options for body copy, anybody know how to fix this?

thanks

That only seems to work for Outlook Express.

Microsoft Outlook - Tips For Versions 97, 98 & 2000

I read that some people customize email to read only the emails that are replied to or forwarded if the color is blue. They sort email by color to read important emails first. I don't use Outlook, so I cannot remember how to customize it.

Options | Mail Format

mid way down... Stationary and Fonts, click Fonts button

Second button down, "When replying and forwarding"

change the font to your liking.

I actually kind of like the blue because it sets apart the rest of the text.

However, I don't like how if you copy and paste something then you have to change that color to blue or else it looks out of place.
