   Has anybody succeeded in changed the font in the Mailer

	   dwrite Mail Font Symbol

   does nothing for me.

The correct defaults are
NXFont
NXFontSize
TocFont
TocFontSize

The defaults for each are Helvetica 12. I have my Toc left at
Helvetica 12, and NXFont at Courier 12. This makes it easier to read
the mail that comes from non-NeXT places. (As I'm sure you've noted,
Helvetica looks pretty terrible if the text is already wrapped!).

The names changed in 1.0, apparently to let everybody use a global
NXFont and Size default.

BTW, the easiest way to do this is to use Mail's Font menu. If you are
positioned in the TOC, it changes the TOC defaults, and if you're
reading a message it changes the NXFont default.
