No, with HTML mail, the specification for the font "I" see (if you were trying to make the word "you" bold, the common way to do it is like this: *you*), is by default the font specified in the <font> tags in the message. Sure, I can choose to override it but: 1) I thought the reason you like HTML mail is that the sender can specify the font? You said so earlier: > Also the sentence could have been formatted in times new Roman a > Variable spaced font instead of couior a monospaced font that looks like > it was type using a 1930's Royal Typwriter. 2) If everyone chooses their own font, why waste a lot of bandwidth on <font> tags? > -- > /Jonas > 'Open Systems' means no fences.

From the mozilla.org newsgroup ground rules: <blockquote cite="http://mozilla.org/community.html";> Do not quote the entire content of the message to which you are replying. Include only as much as is necessary for context. Remember that if someone wants to read the original message, they can; it is easily accessible. A good rule of thumb is, don't include more quoted text than new text. </blockquote>
