How do I change the color of my fonts on email messages?

I know that I can change font colors in individual messages, but why can't I set a color in the preferences tab and have it apply to all messages I write or reply to? This is a pretty routine Outlook functionality...

Have you considered that others may not like whatever color you happen
to think is nice?

Wow, thanks for the help.

This is not an option in Entourage at this time.

When working in Office, you can use the ³Send Feedback² option under the
Help menu in all of the Office applications.

Note: many lists will strip out this type of text. Colored text best used
with close friends only.

Ok, thanks Diane. Was just curious.

(sigh) You're not really very jolly, are you JR?

Go pick a fight with someone else. I was just asking a reasonable question.

I was looking for an answer to this same question (which I too consider to be perfectly reasonable). In the end I added some carriage returns to the start of my signature block (where you can specify the font colour). If you start your email a few lines down, the text comes out in the font colour of the signature. It isn't a perfect solution and you do have to delete the unwanted carriage returns but it saves the effort of manually changing the font colour after typing the email.

was wondering and trying to troubleshoot this as well. my address book and messages look so boring. i am going to try the above until someone has a brain wave. :chagrin:
