Outlook font

Could anyone please tell me how I can set the font in Outlook Express so
all messages are displayed in fixed fonts, rather then in arial.  I've
been looking around and have set my fixed font to Lucinda, however there
was no effect.  This ascii-art was still terrible to look at (luckily I
can also use netscape to look at these masterpieces ;-) )

Greetz,
Tim.

Who the hell is General Failure and what's he doing on my hard drive?

I had the same problem until I set my proportional font to a
fixed width font too. I dunno if this is the *right* way to
do it, but it worked.

Try Courior or New Courior On the Mac we usually set it to Monaco, but I
don't know the windows equivalant.

Console. OE displays in proportional fonts by default.

Typically Windows: putting fixed fonts between the proportional ones..
