incoming email font

[Tcs]

I'm using Outlook 2k. If I create an email, and send it to myself, using my
'default' font of "Courier New", it arrives and displays as "Courier New".

If I send an email that was created with both "Courier New" and "Comic Sans MS",
the "Comic News MS" STAYS "Comic Sans MS", and the "Courier New" gets changed to
"Times New Roman".

When I, or anyone else, creates and sends me "Courier New", I WANT TO SEE
"Courier New" on my screen. I don't want Outlook, or any other software to go
changing things to what *IT* thinks it should be.

1.) Can Outlook do what I want? And ALWAYS show me text created in "Courier
New" *AS* "Courier New"?

2.) If yes, HOW?

Thanks in advance,

Tom
