Pasting into Outlook Express

[windy]

Whenever I paste into Outlook Express for Internet Explorer it always pastes using 12ptTimes New Roman when my default setting for OE is 12pt Arial.

Is there an option to enable pasted items to altered to Arial in this case, with out having to highlight and then changed the typeface afterwards.

Also it dosen't matter what typeface or size of typeface I have copied from it always comes out as 12pt Times New Roman when pasting into Outlook Express.

As always, Thanks in Advance.

In Internet Explorer, under Tools>Internet Options>General>Accessibility button, are any of the formatting options checked? Try unchecking all three. In Outlook Express, is HTML set as default?

Also, this makes me think about an app called Pure Text. It's excellent and I've used it many times in the past in different programs. It's free and gives you a handy "paste special" feature at all times. http://www.stevemiller.net/puretext/

All the formatting are unchecked and was already unchecked.

HTML is set as default.
