Font issue Mac Mail Outlook

Does anybody have a hint on how the font issue problem between mac mail and outlook can be solved ? I installed a demoversion of attachment tamer, but that did not solve the problem

I was a fond user of Mac mail until I discovered that mails sent from Mac mail looks completely silly on a receptients outlook.


Mails sent in for example verdana 10 will appear in different fonts and sizes om the recepients outlook - mostly new times roman - the default font for outlook.


It gave a very unprofessional impression of me.


A 3rd party program - messagefont.com - tries to solve the problem.


It is not 100% reliable for me though.


I have therefore reverted to outlook - much to my annoiance.

Thanks much for that info.


The basic problem is that doing something in Mail > Preferences does not send mail in verdana 10 or anything else specific. You have to set that in each outgoing message, and that is too burdensome for many users. Messagefont is supposed to fix this problem, but I guess it is not perfect.
