Outlook Express only allows TrueType fonts as standard. I reccomend that you
use Lucida Console (I`ll send it to yuo if you don`t have it... comes with
Plus!)

However, You got me wondering so I looked into Regedit...

Load it up and go
HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Mail
and change "Font Name" to "Fixedsys".

I tried this but it doesn`t seem to have any effect :o/
If you search for a similar option in one of the other
\software\microsoft\outlook express folders (there are several in the
different registry root folders) and try changing that.

AND YOU DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO YOU OR YOUR 'PUTER CAUSED BY THIS.
