Cannot change font anymore, is this a bug or virus?

All mail composing is forced into Times New Roman. No setting will make the
usual Microsoft SansSerif stick. It will show in the box thing until I type
any key, then it becomes TNR font. Use an arrow to go to a blank space? It
shows SansSerif, type a key? TNR.

If I compose something on Word and paste it? it gets converted to Times New
Roman. Whats most annoying is it will double space, so typing an address
doesnt come out right.

Ive used Internet Explorer since the 90s, thought I knew how to set things
up, but it recently went to this TNR font on its own, so is it a bug? virus?

Thanks Michael,

It was "Ignore font styles specified on Web pages" in the Accessibility
folder. I wanted larger fonts. It would be neat if there was a popup
warning that setting this may disable fonts in the email compose thing.

and I had clicked it OFF, but then didnt realize I had to restart outlook
express, so thought nope, thats not it...

Thanks again!!
