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.

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.
