well, I got it figured out... and will post my findings here in case anyone
else needs to know this fix!
I had my default font set to tahoma in both mail and news settings under
tools/options/compose, which was correct as to all the MSKB articles on
changing default font.... however, they fail to mention that if you have
your settings under tools/options/read/fonts/*proportional width* set to the
same font as for compose, the default font for composing will not stick. I
changed that setting to sans serif, and now can compose my html mail in the
font I prefer!
another oddity I ran into: I had thought that my tahoma font had become
corrupted, so I attempted to reinstall... LOL - NOT! after removing all
references to this font from my registry, changing all my defaults that used
that font and rebooting, I tried to delete the tahoma fonts from my font
folder... they would delete alright, but then recreate themselves! now that
was weird!
ah... the subtleties of microsoft!
