Okay. I Give Up.

A shameless appeal of another kind . . . I have been playing around with gmail for a while, and like pretty much everthing about it. But one thing I cannot figure out how to do (and I know there must be a way to do it) is how to change the default settings for font and size. I can change them for each email if I want, but there doesn’t appear to be a way to just do it once. I have even been reduced to reading a manual, and there was nothing there either. I figure it must be something like that mystery button in the upper left side of Vista, the one that looks like a logo that nobody would think to click. If any of you out there can make sense of this question, I would appreciate some help. You know, without any taunting.
