Does anyone have a clean solution for this problem, when using NT 
Exchange servers?

    	Related to .3, why doesn't Exchange use my default font for a
    	forward or reply ... rather only on a new message?
    
196.7ACISS1::aci1200_port4.chi.dec.com::AndrewsMon Mar 31 1997 21:028
Umm, because you didn't tell it to? 8-)

There should be an option (probably buried in some dialog box) that allows
you to change the default font for forwarding, replyings and new message.

Look under the 'reading' tab in the tools/options dialog box.  That's where
it is in outlook, and I'm pretty sure it'll be there in exchange.

    	OK, I'll try it when I get home ... thanks.

    	It did work at home ... thanks.
    
    	But I just got upgraded to NT4.0 here and set both send/reply fonts
    	to green/bold and it still uses black/normal, even though I'm look-
    	ing at the set-up and it's clearly green/bold.
    
    	Is there some sort of "grayscale" option I set accidentally?  8^)
    
196.10BUSY::SLABA Momentary Lapse of ReasonFri Apr 11 1997 07:0521
    
    	Well, a follow-up to my .9:
    
    	I asked the CS/IT group why Exchange wouldn't use my profile for
    	sending/replying and kept defaulting to Arial black [instead of
    	Britannica green], so one of them came over and re-installed the
    	entire Exchange utility for me.  And it worked.
    
    	A couple other interesting side effects were:
    
    	<ctrl>k wouldn't work in the To: box when trying to match a wild-
    	card name in the GAL.
    
    	A bunch of my options weren't available in the pull-down menus
    	[IE, grayed out and unselectable].
    
    	But the re-install fixed all the problems that I knew about, and
    	maybe a few that I wasn't aware of at the time.  The suggestion
    	was that Exchange might have been loaded onto the box before the
    	OS [NT4.0], and Exchange wasn't behaving properly as a result.
    
196.11Might be WordmailSNOFS1::OP_RTRICHARD TOZERWed Apr 23 1997 05:338
    re -1
    
    Sounds like you are now using Wordmail as your editor. Try ALT-K to
    check names on the TO: line, if this works you are probably using Word
    and that is why some menu options have changed.

RE: .11

Actually, I'm not using WordMail as an editor ... never was.  But I 
guess it doesn't really matter since it works.

But another question ... is there some sort of a toggle key that 
Exchange uses to switch between insert/overstrike, much like <ctrl>a 
in VMS?

A co-worker accidentally toggled to overstrike and couldn't figure 
out how to go back to insert mode.  I looked in all of the menus I 
could find and there was nothing.

Thanks for any info.

    How about the most obvious?  The Insert key.  :-)

Are you serious?

If so, I feel like such a fool.  8^)


Wow, you WERE serious.  And I DO feel like a fool.
