   It's working OK for me, I can change the font for the message reader and   
   message editor independently of one another. However, as you stated in another   
   post, WinPoint insists on using a monospaced font in the message editor.

   Depending on the colour combination of the background and text colours, it's   
   very easy to "lose" the mouse pointer and/or the cursor.

   Ah well, another bug that'll never get fixed! :-((

   I'd like to have a look at BeeMail but all the links I can find for it are   
   "dead". Where can I get a copy?
