Unfortunately it takes a bit of effort to get Outlook Express to use
FixedSys. (Nice font, though!)

Try this...

Copy this (between the >=---- lines ... don't copy the lines themselves)

into Notepad (Start > Programs > Accessories > Notepad) and save it as
"oefixedsys.reg" (when in the save as window, type the quotes around it
otherwise it may save as oefixedsys.reg.txt.)

Find the file in Windows Explorer (ie Open 'My Computer', then navigate to
where you saved the file)  (it may be on the desktop)

Double-click the file just created, (make sure outlook express isn't running
at this point) and a message will appear saying that the information has
been entered into the registry. When you restart Outlook Express, it should
be in a proper asciiart friendly font.

If you are using multiple users on your computer, using Win95 profiles, this
will change the settings for the currently logged on user only.

      ** It has not yet been tested in Outlook Express with IE5 Beta! **

>END<

I hear that the patch works a dream... this is a minor revision for anyone
who cares. The patch now changes the setting for the CURRENT user not the
DEFAULT user as it did before. (if that means something to you, and you
understand it... good. If you don`t --- don`t worry!)

CJR >>> If you are keeping my patch on your hard drive somewhere, would you
mind using the new version?

Hope this helps... bye!
