I do not want to use Seriff as my default font when I send an email. How do I change the default font to a different font?

You probably see these messages with the default font settings that you have set yourself.

  • Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced

Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

Thank you for your suggestion.........but I don't have Thunderbird. I can manually change the font in emails I send out, but the default is still Seriff, and I want to change my email default to Comic Sans so I don't have to make the change with each email I send out.

Hello, but this is an issue for your email client (web mail ?), probably you have the same behavior in all browsers.
