font size

When I reply to a message or send a new one I can not control the font size or type.
I set it under the TOOLS-OPTIONS-compose to 12 Arial, but as soon as I typ, it goes to Times New Roman, size 12, everytime.
It will not let me change it while I am creating/replying, even if I switch to Rich Text.
I checked the options, and made sure I had the radio button unchecked that says to reply using the same font.
Why am I stuck in this font???
thanks for any help

If it's outlook, the default font is Arial like work has the default font of times new roman.

argh

If this posts twice, I apologise. I swear I replied to this in the morning.
Its outlook express. I probably shouldn't post after a certain hour, I forget to mention things like what program I am trying to fix.
Anyway, I first thought it was going to Times New Roman, when I replied to a email, because there is a radio button for keeping the fonts the same as the message you are replying to. But that is not the case.
No matter what I do, or where I set the fonts, they always revert back to Times New Roman. As soon as I clk on the message (left mouse), I don't even have to type a letter, it will go from whatever I set the fonts to, back to Times New Roman.
I have set the fonts in thetools-- options--compose-- and I have tried it while creating a message by switching from plain text to rich text. It doesn't matter.
Now I have nothing against Times New Roman, but its going to kill me if I don't find out why its doing this.
Thanks for any help.

I just thought of something. I don't know how long this has been going on. But I recently downloaded and installed some updates and the service pack for Xp. Its a possibility.
