Microsoft Outlook has plenty of customization for you: you can create templates for new emails, adjust download settings for various folders and tweak the display options for your mail items. Adjusting the font within emails is usually straightforward, but changing the font of the subject line in a list of emails isn't as clear. Choosing a color you like for your emails' subject lines makes Outlook look just the way you want, and it shouldn't take more than a few minutes of your time.
