Outlook 2007 Beta 2 TR RSS font changes

Prior to the TR I was able to change the RSS feed fonts that were displayed
when viewing the RSS feeds in Outlook 2007 Beta 2 by going to this option in
Microsoft Word: http://www.randomfix.com/images/wordfont.jpg.

Now, however, upon installing TR, the font setting no longer sticks. Is
this a bug or is this a feature/change that was put into Outlook 2007 Beta 2
TR?

Hope to hear from you, Paul!!!

I see this if I view the source of the RSS feeds that I've already
downloaded:

<html><style><!-- body {font-family:"Calibri";} -->

There must be a setting that will enable me to change that Calibri to
Verdana. Please someone help me!

Maybe you have to delete Normal.dotm and NormalEmail.dotm, so that they
can be recreated in the B2TR format? Just pure guessing of mine...

As far as you know, there have been no real changes to this particular part
of the RSS feeds? I fixed the last thing I had trouble with by changing my
default browser to IE7 RC1.

I tried to delete the dotm files but that didn't help at all. The thing is,
the font appears rather small and it's hard to read. I set it at Verdana
size 9 because it is the perfect size and the way the text appears is just
right. I really wish they wouldn't default it to such a small Calibri font.
If there's anyway you could relay this to the team, it doesn't seem to be a
huge change that would have to be made. Thanks Paul, I appreciate all your
help. You've helped me in the past with a lot of other problems I had with
Outlook 2007.

My name is actually Patrick ;)
Not sure why it is so small for you. It seems to be at least 11 to 12
points for me.

I'm sorry Patrick. I get you mixed up with I believe Paul from the IE team.
Sorry about that!

No problem. The grandfather of my gf called me "Felix" for at least 2
years, and one of my professors called me "Tom" for a very long time...

I've confirmed with Microsoft that there is no built-in way to change the font on RSS feed items, not even with the .dotm files.
