I have rebuilt every message in every folder of my mail program. When I installed Fusion, I was given an option to import fonts from Suitcase XI. I did not allow Fusion to do this. As for the system fonts, I don't remember bringing up that dialogue box. Right now I have closed every font except system fonts, arial, helvetica and times. I talked to a Apple rep and he suggested I reinstall my mail program, but there isn't an option for that. When I delete the plist in the prefrences, the only thing that happens is my in box message disappear. I also created a new user and the new mailbox had the same problems. Thank you for your help.
