Thanks for helping....here's what I see
In tools, options, mail
I'm composing the message in HTML
the box is checked to use microsoft 2003 to edit email
in the font section...
The stationary is blank
when I click on "fonts" I'm using 10 pt Arial to compose and reply ...when I "choose font" black auto is listed as compose and blue is selected for reply...
after confirming these settings I just tried to open a new emailmessage...and it's still yellow:(
hmmmm
try using Word as your email editor maybe? Now im stumped...I would need to see it to figure out it (I hate being a hands on person!! )
