How can I stop Outlook changing the font colour in replied to emai

[&e7]

I'm using Word as my email editor in Outlook 2000 and it has the annoying
habit of changing the font colour in replied to emails.
This is a problem for me as some of my colleagues use a black background for
their Windows environment and the first reply colour is very dark blue.
I need it to ALWAYS use 'automatic' so that the font colour will come out
properly.

HOW can I turn this feature off? Some MS help has pointed me towards the
track changes feature but that's not helped.


Thanks,

Andy

Hello!

I think....

Tools > Options > Mail Format Tab> Fonts button (located in the middle of
the dialogue box)

Should be able to change font and colour as you wish.

That was my first thought - but the font colour is already set to Automatic.
If I set it to a fixed colour, then it's not going to be suitable for people
with white or black backgrounds.

(thanks though!)
