Well, that is not entirely true. The Exchange server just moves mail,
doesn't set any fonts.

The sinple answer is, in Exchange Client 4.0 & 5.0 and in Outlook 97 you
cant change the default font for viewing messages that you receive in plain
text.

In Outlook 98 you can in Tools/Options/Mail Format.

Sorry for the OT. Couldn't resist sending a response.

I asked our IT department about that. We were (are) using Exchange and I
was
told that the default incoming font was outside the users control as it was
set my the mail server.  I suspect that may be true for OutLook as well
