This is not something i have seen an option for. Confirm that you are composing messages under the standard HTML format or plan text.



When composing a message select format text and select align left. Once done select close you should be asked to save your changes.

This is the only thing i can think of that might fix this problem.

Yes, If I choose Tools --> Options --> Mail format tab --> compose messages in HTML.

When I click "New' the new message comes up with the center button highlighted automatically and everything centered every time. If I click align left, it works.

Weird.
