I want to set the font colour for new email messages and new replies because too many people are replying with a nasty blue colour.
This is done through registry then a custom ADM template can be made to control it in active directory. Can i just make sure im doing this right -
Exported defaultemailfont.reg with ReplyFontSimple and ComposeFontSimple settings
Saved into our scripts folder
Added the script line to testfont.bat
Gave the login bat to testuser.
Edited settings to yellow in outlook for replies and new mails
Restarted and logged in
This should then pickup the reg settings for new colours, but doesnt (still shows yellow)

Open Outlook 2007 and go to
Tools -> Options -> Mail Format tab -> Editor settings
Set your desired font(s) for composing a new mail and a reply mail
Open your registry (hit Start -> Run -> Regedit
Navigate to
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\MailSettings]
In this key exist two values: ReplyFontSimple and ComposeFontSimple.
Right-click on the key MailSettings and choose Export
Save the registry keys (only the selected keys) as “defaultemailfont.reg”
Open the defaultemailfont.reg and make sure that only the ReplyFontSimple and ComposeFontSimple exist. If there are other Lines in the file, remove them.
Finally, the reg file should look something like this:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Common\MailSettings]
“ReplyFontSimple”=hex:3c,00,00,00,0f,00,00,e8,00,00,00,40,c8,00,00,00,4e,0d,6b,\
74,00,00,00,00,00,20,56,65,72,64,61,6e,61,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
01,00,00,00,9c,ea,13,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00
“ComposeFontSimple”=hex:3c,00,00,00,0f,00,00,e8,00,00,00,40,c8,00,00,00,4e,0d,\
6b,74,00,00,00,00,00,20,56,65,72,64,61,6e,61,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,\
00,01,00,00,00,9c,ea,13,00,01,00,00,00,01,00,00,00
Copy the file to the location where all your login script(s) and files are located, and edit your login script to load defaultemailfont.reg everytime someone logs on. From now on, the new default font settings for Outlook 2007 will be set with every logon.
