Hi Team, Requesting for help on this request..

Hi Arun,

Replace your code with this that should do what you wanted and also fix the problem with the Signature you reported in the other Thread.
I removed all the Font settings and put the info directly in the Body.
I left a diffrent font setting for the Signature that you can see how to format individual text different if neccessary

to change the Background or text put new colorcodes in this line Color is textcolor and background-color is obviously background color

That worked.. I updated cursive and the font was comic sans ms in the mail ..

But what should I do if I want to change to other multiple word fonts..
Please guide me..

Thanks for your reply.... Double quote doesn't work .. i already tried that.. The problem is that with or without quotes when i try to update the font with two or more words, only the first word of the font is displayed in the font section of the outlook..

For example when i try to update with comic sans ms, only comic is displayed in outlook..

Do you have another font in mind?

Cursive is perfectly working fine for me .. i don't need for any other font now.. if you can advise me where to look for tags for other fonts, it may definitely help me in future..

Fantastic.. That will help.. Thanks a lot for your help and support ..
