===========================================================

1. I have two email accounts on my T'Bird 2. How do I set the default font/font size to be used when composing messages in with account? 3. Have gone through this process previously, but the "default" font/font size does not retain in the system, so 4. Suddenly, when composing a new message somewhere down the line the default I had set has disappeared.

Thank you. Appreciated.

David - Thank you for the reply. In your instructions, ##1-3 are already set

  1. 4, however: ("select 'otherwritingsystems' from the drop-down menu") . . . what drop-down menu? where?

Appreciate. Nels

NEXT ROUND -

With a little more searching, I figured out where the "drop-down menu" was; verified my settings there, and font/size appears to be working correctly in composition/messaging in both accounts.

Many thanks.

You can "take the rest of the week off" . . . or whatever enjoyability you would prefer to do!

Again, thanks. Nels

I'll take that as approval to pour a glass of wine, maybe two. :) I was glad to assist. You are most welcome.

Glad to. We all need it . . .

. . . I'll spare you any of my less-than-stellar-jokes, however.
