(BdH) I do use my providers e-mail system and it serves me well except for
this font problem. I use XP but I have no idea how to change the default
font.

(BdH) I have tried to change the encoding but it always goes back.
I have thought about using the e-mail system of Firefox but I could look
into Gmail.
Sorry for imposing on you all to help me with a technical problem rather
than a Greek problem.
Thank you.
