Hi Folks:

I'm using Office/Outlook 2003-Pro.
I'm not sure if this is the right Outlook group but . . . .

I have a few customers that use double spacing, a light blue background, and
a medium blue font, and "signatures" in a 24 point font - it's very hard to
read and makes for a very long message.

Is there some way to tell Outlook to automatically single space, cut the
background, and use a 10 pt fornt for everything on all messages??

Thanks much

You can set the option to read all messages as plain text as explained here:

Seems like a pity you don't want to enjoy fabulous e-mail art, though.
