When I answer an email the default font is the tiny Calibri 11. I would like to make the default font Ariel 14 so that I would not have to change it manually every time I compose an email.

I looked all through the options but could not find a way to make the change. There must be some way I can do this. I had everything configured right till my hard drive failed. I'm not changing the setting on my new hard drive but I need some help with Outlook.

Also, is there a way to make the type larger on received email? I would like to find a way that does not involve the slider at the foot of the pane.
