Outlook.com Font keeps changing

Anonymous

I am using Outlook.com on Windows 7 (SP1) and IE10 (with latest update.)

Language is set to English UK.

The font keeps changing when I send an email.

No matter what font and size I use this problem occurs.

I type an email and it looks fine and then I send it.

However, when I see it in the sent folder, the font on some lines or paragraphs has changed - normally to a smaller size.

If I paste anything from a Word Document, the problem is even worse.

I have sent myself emails from Outlook.com using another account and email client to receive them and the emails look terrible and very unprofessional.

I have tried every solution suggested on the internet clear IE temporary files etc. uninstall Silverlight - but to no avail.

I have used Google Chrome browser - same problem.

Until I can resolve this, I am using eM Client software to send and received my outlook.com emails.

Is anyone aware of this problem please and any potential solutions.

Thank you.

    I just posted separately about this at:

    http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook\_com/forum/oemail-osend/font-size-in-outgoing-email-is-inconsistent/caa57dd6-ad35-45f7-ae0f-082cba9a3cce?tm=1434500005484

    It's now June 16, 2015 and the problem remains unresolved. Even the spacing above in this message should only be a single blank line, but it looks like double or two-and-a-half. (I've just edited it manually -- but why should I have to do that? A single 'Return' should create one new line.)

    This all makes outlook.com seem half-baked.

    I'm starting to think that like others here I'll have to return to my former webmail client.

    I guess this is Microsoft's endorsement of Gmail. Fine, I'll go back to Gmail.
