Sgt_Strider Posted November 18, 2006 Share Posted November 18, 2006 I know this may be a bit anal, but what font and sizes do you guys use to compose your e-mail? Do you try to ensure that all e-mails meet certain format criterias? Also do you guys enable the change in font colour when responding to e-mails? Or you leave it the same colour as when you first composed the message? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or you leave it the same colour as when you first composed the message?I would suggest using what is most readable on the screen. Don't festoon the document with multiple colours. A sans serif font, such as Arial, is more readable on-screen. I generally use a 10-point font size as my standard. The "reply as a different colour" feature was new to me when I started using Outlook. Now that I've used it, I kind of like it. The colour tends to help the eye distinguish between original content and reply. A nice alternative to the old way of using brackets: ">".The best thing you can do is restrain yourself and other users from using scripted, ornate or decorative fonts, even in their signatures. The resolution of a display is so much lower than printed output that the "pretty" or "cute" fonts are terrible for everyday use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
