MacInTouch’s never-ending story of reader reports on Apple Mail is always an interesting read.

In today’s instalment, Chris Malanga offers an intriguing tip for setting a font tag in a Rich Text message in Mail.app.

He notes that when the message is rendered into HTML by WebKit before sending, the font tag is more usefully placed (esp. for Outlook users) if you compose the message in a font that is not the default one set in your Preferences. He advises setting the default Rich Text font to one that you never use, and composing in another instead.

Personally, I can’t get my head around how Mail.app renders HTML via WebKit at all, so I am willing to listen to anyone who does.
