Yellow Text in Outlook
One of my users had a problem where every time she responded to certain emails her response would be in yellow. I’ve seen this a couple of times in my career and it always has to do with a Outlook Theme. In most cases it’s when using an older version of Outlook like 2000.
Anyway it’s an easy fix. First tell the person sending the mail to stop using Themes. Themes are a vile disgusting part of email that I wish never happened. Ok so they aren’t that bad and in most cases you can’t just go spouting off email etiquette. A simple change in Outlook on the receiver’s side should fix the issue.
In Outlook:
Go to Tools | Options | Mail Format tab | Fonts | select “Use my font when replying to and forwarding messages”.
Alternatively one could pick “Always use my fonts”
That should do it. Instead of using the yellow stationary font Outlook will use whatever fonts the user has set, regardless of what stationary the sender is using.
