How to define font in mail

Hello, I use mail, my version is (uname -a)
Darwin Igors-MacBook-Pro.local 11.4.2 Darwin Kernel Version 11.4.2: Thu Aug 23 16:25:48 PDT 2012; root:xnu-1699.32.7~1/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
and I want to define my message font to particular font, f.e. arial. I've read some manuals and noticed, that there is way:
-Open Mail
-Preferences (from mail menu)
-Font & Colors tab
-Message Font
but as far as I understand, this way defines our font view and not actual font of sent message, because when I compose message and send it, my recipients, despite the fact that message was sent in HTML and not in plain text, have my message displayed in their own default fonts.
So I sent one message to my another mailbox and viewed the underlying HTML code to see this two portions:
<html><head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1251"></head><body style="word-wrap: break-word;">фЕУФ ЬФП ФЙРБ БТЙБМ<div><br></div><div>test this is arial</div><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">

first portion was my text, and I see no HTML tags to define font. After that comes my signature, which is heavily formatted and contains default font, so my recipients see it exactly how I want.
But what about message text? How can I define it to be displayed upon arrival to my recipients' mailboxes in exactly that font I need?

If I understand your request...
MIME-encoded mail clients will usually send both plain text (or base64-encoded plain text) or rich text (or probably base64-encoded rich text, but I haven't seen that) and also as HTML, and an arbitrary mail client might display the text or might display the HTML. And then there's whether the HTML will be rendered the same, and that's far from certain.
HTML moved various parts of the viewing and rendering details from the perview of the provider or the presenter or author along to the viewer. This is a large shift from what went before, and from what the expectations of the producers were. Fonts were one of those details that moved to the client, too. Not all fonts exist everywhere, and font fallback and font overrides are common. I regularly override the sizes of some messages, and various clients allow that and allow overriding the font choice for one that's more readable. (This change gets into trusting the HTML reader to configure their client for what they prefer, and sometimes for what they can see and read.)
Put another way, the viewer can and will select local fonts and font sizes and such, and may or may not honor the sender's requested fonts.
Formatted HTML itself — such as the Apple Mail.app stationery — is somewhat problematic in general, as client rendering differs. Apple's stationery works well among Apple clients, but can be rendered differently with other clients.
ad for your case, I've been able to set the sending font — brute-force ⌘A in the text area — by changing the font within the compose window. But whether an arbitrary mail client can or will honor that is an open question.
If you really need to set font or page layout or related formatting within a document, then create and attach and send the message as PDF. This is what PDF and Postscript and similar formats are intended to do; to provide the classic producer-defined document viewing. Text will render more or less the same, though you can encounter oddities around line wrapping and line endings and related, and particularly with some mail servers and mail gateways.
If not attaching a PDF or such, then you're going to have to live within whatever your mail client and the receiver's mail client happen to implement. That's the way mail (doesn't) work in a heterogeneous network.

How to control fonts in Mail?

I have a persistent problem that I just cannot figure out. In mail prefs I set my font for the Mail message font to be Verdana 13 which is easier for me to read. Nonetheless, any time I click on the next line to type in, or click anywhere in the message, it ALWAYS outputs Verdana 12 and I have to manually change it. It looks like it is a bug but I am suspicious about coming to that conclusion as I may just be ignorant.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Richard

Regarding Mail, as already provided go to Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colors.
You can change the Mailbox Font, Message List Font and Message Font.
The font and size that you select for the Message Font will be the font and size for received messages only when the sender of a message uses Plain Text for message composition. When a sender uses HTML for message composition, the sender controls the formatting. With such a received message open, at the menu bar go to View > Message and select Plain Text Alternative and the received message font will be changed to your chosen font for messages.
The message font selection will also be the font used when composing a message. RTF with Tiger Mail is really HTML but in order to implement HTML for message composition requires selecting a font via the font panel when composing a message or change the font size, color or add bold or italics for selected text, etc.
I don't believe you can change the font for Address Book. You can only change the font size choosing between Regular, Large or Extra Large.
The same for iTunes. You can select between Small or Large for Source Text and Song text.

How to enlarge font in ios6 for mail

How to enlarge font in ios6 for mail? Email was easier to read on ios5. I can't find the font setting on ios6.

From the Mail menu bar click Mail > Preferences then select the Fonts & Colors tab.
You can reset fonts sizes from there.
Another way to open Mail Preferences, with Mail running, press Command , (comma) on your keyboard.
The Mavericks upgrade may have reset that data to factory settings.

I love Palatino, I have it bot in the System fonts folder, in the home/library/fonts folder and in the computer/library/fonts folder.
Yet, It does not come out.
Something else I should be doing?

Keep in mind that if the recipient of the email doesn't have Palantino active on their computer, they're not going to see that font on their end. Their system will replace any instance of Palantino with whatever font is they have set as the default in their mail program.

How do I change the font in mail permantly

I can change the font in mail but it isn't permanent. I am talking about composing E-mail.

I have a work around you might try.
Add a signature to your email account with whatever font you want. Two steps...like this.
1. Create a new email message:
2. Add a new signature (Mail -> Preferences -> Signatures) and Paste Clip Board into the new Signature editor:
That's All Folks!
Now, when you create new messages, you should find that the format you are looking for is already setup. All you have to do is tweak the Name,
Hope this helps!

How to Define Multiple Notification Rules for Different E-Mail Channels?

In C4C we can define a notification rule for New tickets, for example, that provides an acknowledgement of receiving the customer's e-mail.
This works great for a single support team, but what if we have multiple support teams, each with their own e-mail address, and each with unique requirements for their auto-acknowledgement?
When setting up a new notification rule, there doesn't appear to be any option to define the e-mail channel, service and support team value, or a "from" e-mail address.
We're on-boarding over a dozen e-mail teams, and I'd hate to tell them that they'll all have to share one auto-acknowledgement template from a single do-not-reply address.
Does anyone know if this is possible to:
Define the e-mail channel or service and support team as an condition in the notification rules.
Define the outgoing "from" e-mail address for a notification rule.
Thanks for any insight the community might have!

Hi Mike,
As of release 1402, your analysis is correct. The out-of-the-box notification rules do not include the "incoming email channel" as one of fields on which to build condition, and all notifications are sent from a common do-not-reply address.
You can easily overcome the first limitation by using the SDK. For example, when the ticket is created you could set an extension field based on the email channel, and then use the extension field to define different notification rules, using different templates. All extension fields are automatically available to be used as conditions.
Thank you for your feedback and for bringing this item to our attention. We will definitely keep this in mind as we plan for future releases.
Kind regards,

How to increase Indent in Mail messages and save as a default

How can I persuade my Mail settings to accept a larger Indent on a permanent basis.?
I find that my Canaon printer has problems with some fonts being too near the Left hand edge of the page.

You have to separate your step1 and step2 into two parallel loop.
If you put the two tasks in one loop, the lower speed task will affect the loop speed.
So that the program won't achieve the top speed.
Is continuous acquisition required for your application? Can sequence acquisition or finite acquisition be your workaround?
The memory handling in continuous acquisition is way a lot more difficult than finite acquisition.
I would suggest you to figure out how finite acquisition work and then jump into the continuous acquisition application.
