Brian,

I apologize. Yes - it IS Outlook 2007. And thank you!!! The suggestion
you gave fixed the bold on incoming messages. Yahoo!!! And you are also
correct on the header, as far as which part I'm referring to. In the
AutoPreview pane on the bottom, it shows the header at the top of that:
subject, from, date, etc. It specifically displays the "subject" in large,
bold font.

You're really helping - thank you!!!

Thanks for your reply. Actually, there are two separate issues going
on. My new incoming messages used to be in bold before they were
read. I literally just installed this program last night, and do not
have any other applications scanning my incoming mail. It's on my
laptop, and I don't use any external peripherals. So...any other
ideas?

Are you talking about Outlook 2007? You said "Outlook 7" in the original
message. Click ViewCurrent ViewCustomize Current ViewAutomatic
Formatting. Select "Unread Messages" and examine the font chosen. If it's
not to your liking, change it.

The header issue is when I am looking at an open email (I have the
preview window open on the bottom), and the header for that email is
in bold. It's just an irritating distraction, that's all. It's like
the header is in a font much bigger than everything else and in bold.
Just don't like it..... I'm being picky....sorry.

When you say "the header", are you referring here to the subject, the
sender, and the date information at the top of the preview in the Reading
Pane?
