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.

Excellent! :-)

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?
