I want every email I send through gmail to be written in Verdana font, but NOT to view all pages in that font.

Question

Every time myself or my colleague sends an email through our google apps account we have to change the font to verdana. we can't seem to find ANY way (neither in the gmail settings nor in the firefox settings) to change it so that all of our outgoing messages are written in Verdana.
I went to firefox preferences and found the font settings and changed them all to verdana and UN-checked "allow pages to select their own fonts", however, then ALL fonts were changed to verdana, including our signature at the bottom of each email (which we don't want in verdana) and also all of the gmail pages appear in verdana as well. We just want our outgoing messages (except fro the signature at the bottom) to be in Verdana, and I can't figure out how to do it.
Also, when in the Firefox Preferences / Content / Fonts & Colors, I'm not really sure what each part means. For example, what does "default font" refer to??? Visualization of web pages will be in that font? or writing that I myself do? Also, then once entering into Advanced, I'm not sure what each scroll-down menu refers to: Proportional, Serif, Sans-serif, and Monospace?? Which one of those should I make Verdana? And, what should the rest be if I just want to "normal" (default?) settings.
Please help. Thank you very much.

Guess as you wish but you are wrong. Centering a site is
reasonably
simple... if you are willing to deal with code. There is no
"Center Site"
button. Design view is OK but extremely limited. If you are
willing to
settle for those limitations, and obviously you are not, you
will be fine.
Clearly this approach is not acceptable so you have to move
to the next
level -> An understanding of HTML & CSS and most
importantly, how they
interact. I could give you the code but your next question
would be, "Where
do I put it?".

We are. Are you?
>>Or will I have to start from scratch again?
That is the only way but only if you can figure out how your
code got so
badly mangled. Otherwise, you are likely to arrive at the
same result.
Please trust me when I say if you had build that entire page
from DW's
design view and never touched the code it is impossible for
the page code to
be what it is. If the page was actually build in DW design
view someone
subsequently took a hatchet to the code DW produces.
