Outlook 2010 overriding font-family from Arial to Times New Roman
html-email, outlook
Solution
Even if you set `font-family: arial` to table, it still wont work. You need to specifically set the font for each `td` inside your `table` to get it right.
Problem
I'm programmatically sending HTML-formatted email, and setting the font as Arial throughout (`font-family: Arial;`). When the messages arrive in Outlook 2010, text in `table` elements is in Times New Roman. Text in `div` elements is fine in Arial. If I `View Source`, copy into an HTML file, and view in a browser, all fonts function as expected (it's all Arial). Some Google results show that Outlook will fall back to its default font (Times New Roman) when none is specified, but that's not what's happening here. Why is Outlook forcing my email to display in Times New Roman when specified otherwise?
