Default Compose Settings Not Working

Hi

I am experiencing a problem with the Verdana font in Outllook Express 6 on
XP Home edition.

Under Tools/Options - Compose Font - Mail- Font Settings - I select
Verdana Regular 9pt . Click OK but the font looks like 10 point and it is
10pt when I coompse a new message o reply.

Any idea as to waht I can do about it.

Thanks you

In the future, please begin a new thread to ask a question. State your full
Windows version (e.g., WinXP SP3) in your first post.

Only even-numbered font sizes are used in WinXP SP2 or SP3 (despite the
availability of the odd-numbered font sizes). If you select 9pt, you'll see
10pt; if you select 13pt, you'll see 14 pt, &c.

Understand that these compose font settings only apply to RichText (HTML)
messages and the use of most Stationery templates will trump this setting.
