Using different default fonts for HTML & Plain Text mails, Viewer/Editor preferences in v8.6 look different from Help file.

Hi,

I'd like to view Plain Text mails with "Courier New" and HTML mails with "Times New Roman" font. How can I configure this in v8.6? In the Help file, the Viewer/Editor preferences look different from the actual Preferences dialog.

Thanks,
Stefan

Composing in different fonts is readily doable because you're in charge. However, incoming HTML messages may have the font already specified. If you're using the TB! HTML viewer, the font will be what sender defined and if no font specified, then it will display in your default font. However, many users who send HTML messages omit the font (this especially true for Thunderbird and Postbox users). If you wish to then see Times Roman just set your font default in Internet Explorer to Times Roman and specify the windows HTML viewer for HTML messages.That approach gives you some of what you want.  No easy solution that I see, except switching to Thunderbird. Good luck,

david

I don't want to use the Windows HTML viewer (Internet Explorer) for security reasons.

According to the Help file, defining different default fonts for PlainText and HTML seems (or once seemed) to be possible:

(The abobe screenshots were copied from the Help file of The Bat! v8.6)

In the Preferences dialog of the current version 8.6, these settings are gone; instead there's now a setting "Viewer/Editor profiles".
Maybe in the current version there's now another way to achieve this, but I didn't find it.

Those features are for the editor and you can still achieve that for HTML with templates for outgoing messages. You're viewing documentation that hasn't been updated in 13 years and the features have been restructured since then. Notice in the photos that the menu options are not what you see today. .
