Entourage is a little different - there does not seem to be an option to
choose or even see the font for outgoing plain text emails - set in stone I
presume. Font choices are greyed out so I have no idea whether I am sending
Courier or Monaco or whatever. Or just a default character set which is
formatted on receipt.
Incoming I have the choice to view or print in any of the fonts on my
mac.

But when you wrote this what did you see in your reader - presumably not
fixed width Courier. Was it full width and a html type font as I saw and if
so was it plain text or html? I can't imagine Kyle sending html to the list.
Bit of a puzzler.....as I think Kyle uses Entourage too....perhaps a
mistake....
