Thanks James.
If however I launch Entourage, I can go into Entourage > Preferences >
General Preferences > Fonts, then for the field "HTML messages
(proprtional)" I can select Verdana Italic. Then if I create a new
message with Entourage and start typing, I'm typing in italics. This
also works if I reply to a message.
If Apple Mail can't do the same as Entourage on its own, anyone have
any creative ideas on how to achieve the same? Involving Automator
perhaps? I see in Automator's Library there is a "New Mail Message "
Action, but not sure how I could drag in a pre-determined text format.
I thought about utilising Apple Mail Stationery, but then that
wouldn't work for replying to messages.
Cheers, Steven

italics is not a font, it's a font effect and normally you type in
verdana & then select the block to make it italics, then as i
mentioned in a earlier posting, if the receiver has not verdana (or
the same font set installed as you) then the letter/webpage/word doc/
pdf file will appear different
rich text files (rtf) can store the info for italics/bold/underlined

I can't seem to get italics to reflect in the default font which is

I assume this must be done via Apple Mail > Preferences > Fonts &

I can get the font type itself to change, but when I select
italics, using for instance font type Verdana, italics is reflected
in the preview pane of the Fonts window, but italics is not
automatically reflected when I begin typing a Mail message. I can
manually change the text to italics after typing the message, but
ideally I don't want to have to do this each time.
Any clues?
