How do I set preferences so that when I receive email the fonts in the received message I see are the same as those that the sender used? Currently my mail converts the received fonts into a "standard" font, such as Arial. Thank you.

If the received mail is in HTLM format, then you _will_ see the sender's
preferred fonts & sizes.

However, if the received mail is in plain text format, no font
information is contained in the message - how you read it is up to
_your_ preferences.

you can change what font & size you use to view plain text messages in
the prefs, under the 'fonts' section.
