Altering font for e-mails
« on: February 16, 2006, 07:41:47 am »
Hello Again,

I see others using Listmail with different font size/type in the e-mails sent to users.  How can I alter the default e-mail font for my users to be Arial 12, for example?

Thanks,

Archie

Altering font for e-mails

Archie,

You can only change the size, face, weight, and colour in HTML email only.  I believe you can use a CSS style sheet in your email, ie:
Code: [Select]
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css" rel=stylesheet><!--
body { font: 9pt verdana; color: navy; }
.custom { font: 10pt verdana; color: blue; }
--></style>
</head>
<body>
Welcome to another issue of <span class=custom>My Newsletter</span>!<br>
<br>
...
</body>
</html>

For a CSS stylesheet to be loaded by HotMail I believe the <style> tag has to appear AFTER the <body> tag.

You can also use CSS inline:
Code: [Select]
<span style="font: 9pt verdana; color: navy;">Welcome to another issue of <span style="font: 10pt verdana; color: blue;">My Newsletter</span>!<br>
<br></span>

Or simply use basic HTML:
Code: [Select]
<font size=2>Welcome to another issue of <font size=3>My Newsletter</font>!<br>
<br></font>
