New Outlook (Client Version 20230414002.08) lacks a critical feature for our internal users, specifically the ability to select and change the font for plain text messages.
We produce hundreds of short status reports throughout the day for a variety of users. Much of the information is columnar and depends upon a fixed-width font to display in a legible manner. The reports typically are small enough that attaching them as a text document would waste extra time for our users to open separately, so we issue them as the body of the email and go on. It is for this very reason that our users cannot use the Outlook Web App when they are offsite. They instead use the current desktop Outlook over a VPN connection.
Please include in every version of Outlook (including Outlook Web App) the ability to select and change the font for plain text messages, preferably in the Settings. The font selection should apply both to the Reading Pane and to "popped out" message display.
