Text Settings
Outlook Express has two options for the messages. Plain Text and Rich Text Format (RTF). The purests will always use the Plain Text as it is unlikely to hide any virus attachments but most of us like to use different fonts or settings in our personal mail.
To do this Click on Format - select Rich Text and at the top of the Message Box you will see the tool bar which is familiar within WORD. It allows you to change Font, Size Colour etc.
