Reply to an email

If your administrator has specified a font type and size, the specified font and font size is used in outgoing email messages. You can override the fonts policy by enabling the Use Custom Fonts. You can choose the font and font color to use when you reply to an email by using the Launcher to go to Applications > Settings > Mail > Fonts and enabling Use Custom Fonts. Tap Reply or Forward to choose the font and color you want. The fonts that you specify will take precedence until either you disable the Use Custom Fonts, or the administrator changes the policy. If your administrator has allowed you to create custom signatures, you can create and set the default signature that will be added to all your outgoing email. You can also select a different signature when you compose a new email. For more information, see Manage your signatures.
