    email programs (like Outlook Express, Thunderbird...) use a default font type to write the email, and you can change it in the program options. But this is independent from the font of your pc. If you like, you can change it in the screen properties, right click on an empty section of your desktop, select Properties, and then Appearance. You can choose whatever font you want, and also decide italic, bold, dimension and other pretty things! ;) This'll influence all the windows, popups and messages.
