Ray

Html:
WLM button/Options/Mail/Compose

Plain text: (default is Calibri 12pt - previously Times New Roman)
No option is present in WLM to modify the default. Nor is there an option in the mail composition windows to change the font when
composing in plain text.

Supplemental background info (applicable at the time of WLM11 final beta and RTM release)
Like Office, the default 'Styles' changed from Times New Roman(Office 2003) to take advantage of Clear Type technology with Calibri
11 pt as the new default(Cambria for headings)...i.e. a common font (almost the same 'pt') and feature borrowed(shared code ?) with
Office(e.g. Spell Checker and Custom Dictionary also Office code).

One can change the font and size for reading plain text messages
WLM button/Options/Mail/Read/Fonts
- Note: If using IE9, the ability to do so was resolved and deployed by an Oct 2011 Internet Explorer update (i.e. ensure IE is
updated to the latest cumulative update). Likewise, while not documented in a kb article, folks using IE8 have also reported the
same ability after the Oct IE update.

Thanks, Winston. Your solution is great and what I asked for. However, I
am missing something - I don't find a WLM button. I have tried everything
listed as Windows Live or Windows Mail but always come back to the message
window. I don't think I'm stupid but then again - - - If Calibri is the
default (which is what I want) somehow it has been changed to Ariel 10.

The WLM button is on the WLM 2011 Ribbon Menu. Clicking on it allows one to access WLM's Optinos.
- the button is the blue 'thing' in the upper left (blue rectangle with two icons - one looks like a page with written text, the
other icon an inverted equilateral triangle)

Hi, Ray.

We often call it "the button with no name". But if you hover the mouse over
that button in the upper left corner - just left of the Home label - for a
second or two, a text box with the name "Windows Live Mail" will appear.
That's IT!

Clearly, another victory of form over function. If we sighted folk
mostly miss it, how are VI/VH supposed to find it, especially if that's
the only popup? Needs someone to bring a test case under the relevant
disability legislation ...

Perhaps it's worth remembering that Albert Einstein defined common sense as a
'set of prejudices acquired by age 18'. (Quoted by Gordon Dennis on letters
page
of computing, 5 February 2004.)
