456931 2006-05-22 21:06:00 I run Outlook 2003 for emails. What is considered the best fonts to use for business emails. What colour is considered the best to use . More interestingly, why use only these ones ? I like to not be boring so would like to use a good colour and less boring font but is the issue ease of reading or is it true:
Once an email has alot of to and fros, replys etc, in different fonts etc is can cause an issue with some servers either accepting them or think they are spam etc ? Thoughts thanks.

If a Business has a robust security setup all incoming email will get stripped to plain text, with no colour and the default font for their system.

Colour requires HTML, and HTML can be a security risk.

From the list, Georgia would be my choice for a nice Serif typeface. For a San Serif typeface, Verdana or Tahoma works quite well.
