Is there a way in outlook via a hack or policy that can keep people from changing the mail format. I want everyone in the company to use company html stationary as well as a particular font type and size..

Through group policies, assuming that you have the GP template for your version of Outlook loaded, you can force the message format to HTML (under the Outlook 2002 policy, Tools|Options|Mail Format|Message Format) and in the same policy template under Mail Format|Stationery Fonts, you can specify to use the fonts included in the stationery. I would recommend creating a group policy at the domain level and then applying it as required. What you can't do is specify the stationery selection and prevent the user from changing it, unless you want to go to each user's workstation, set the stationery to be used, then edit their registry permissions on the associated key so that they can't change it back. Since the reg key is in the HKEY/Current User hive, I'm not sure you can even do that. . .I've never tried but I'd think it would be hazardous. Anyway, if you want to experiment, the reg key is (assuming Office XP, Office 2000 would be 9.0 instead of 10.0):

HKEY_C_U/Software/Microsoft/Office/10.0/Common/MailSettings/NewStationery

Hope this helps!
