How to change email fonts?

The iPhone sends plain text emails - you cannot choose a font. They are displayed by the receiving mail client in whatever font that mail client has designated for viewing plain text emails.

Sorry, no way to change fonts on the iPhone. You can change the size though...

From the manual...
Set a minimum font size for messages: Choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars” > Minimum
Font Size, then choose Small, Medium, Large, Extra Large, or Giant.

No, you can't. The OP is asking about changing the font of sent mail. The Minimum Font Size setting alters the size of the email text (in incoming and composed messages) +for display on the iPhone+ but has no effect on the outgoing message. Plain text is plain text - NO formatting (font, size, color, nothing), just the text, only the text.

I didn't know that you couldn't change the size. Thanks for the correction neuro.

The iPhone can view and forward HTML-formatted emails, but NOT compose them. Any text added above the copy of an HTML-formatted email being forwarded is added as unformatted text. On the recipient's email client, that may display differently than a plain text email, since the recipient's mail client may have a different default display for plain text versus unformatted text in a rich text or HTML formatted email. For example, in Outlook plain text emails display in Courier, whereas unformatted text in HTML-formatted emails displays as Times New Roman.

Text added within the HTML-formatted portion of the email being forwarded takes on the formatting of the area it's entered, and maintains that formatting on the recipient's end. But, the iPhone does not have an HTML editor for composing mail, i.e. you cannot change the formatting of the email sent from the iPhone.

Hi. There's an app called easy email that lets you use some different fonts and styles and also lets you type in landscape. There's a free version and a .99 version. I got the free one and it works well. You can even use it to reply to mail in the regular iPhone mail. You can even change text color.

Hi. Thanks Igor_G5 for the information. Do you know the name of the App, and did it allow you to write emails in HTML format?

As he said, Easy Email Free or Easy Email Spell Check ($.99)
