Hi guys
I've just changed from a Mac Mini to an iMac. All is OK except that
all my received emails (I'm using Hotmail)
are shown in a nasty looking font with scruffy serifs, which is not
comfortable to read.
Can anyone tell me how to select a different font, please?

Install Linux.

Or set the default font in the browser :-)

Thanks, guys, but that hasn't worked. You see, it's the INCOMING text
I
want to change, not the SENT text. Every thing I send is OK, but what
I
get back is horrible!

Use a proper email client (eg thunderbird) and turn off HTML rendering?

Get a GoogleMail account and put a redirect on your hotmail account?

Looks like you can't format lines properly either.


Are you reading it in MacMail as a download, or in a web browser?


For mac mail, Go to preferences, fonts and colors, message font, then
select font and size.

For Safairi its all screwed. Apple have decided its not your business,
but theirs to decide what font is default in their browser.

The simplest answer is to download e.g. firefox and use that to read
your web based mail.

The more complex answer is that you can set up a style sheet and apply
it to the mail site.
