I can't seem to get italics to reflect in the default font which is used by Apple Mail when typing an email.

I assume this must be done via Apple Mail > Preferences > Fonts & Colours >Message Font > Select...

I can get the font type itself to change, but when I select italics, using for instance font type Verdana, italics is reflected in the preview pane of the Fonts window, but italics is not automatically reflected when I begin typing a Mail message. I can manually change the text to italics after typing the message, but ideally I don't want to have to do this each time.

Any clues?

Cheers, Steven
