Set default font in Outlook with an addin

Question

I am writing an Outlook addin which automatically sets the default signature:

Word.Application oWord = new Word.Application();
Word.EmailOptions oOptions;
oOptions = oWord.Application.EmailOptions;
oOptions.EmailSignature.NewMessageSignature = "Standardsignatur";
oOptions.EmailSignature.ReplyMessageSignature = "Standardsignatur";

I am also able to set the default font for normal text msg:

oOptions.PlainTextStyle.Font.Name="Arial";
oOptions.PlainTextStyle.Font.Size=40;

But how can I change the font of a new HTML message in this addin?

Outlook does not expose that option for programmatic access.

Found the solution:

Word.Application oWord = new Word.Application();
Word.EmailOptions oOptions;
oOptions.ReplyStyle.Font.Name = "Arial";
oOptions.ReplyStyle.Font.Size = 10;

oOptions.ComposeStyle.Font.Name = "Arial";
oOptions.ComposeStyle.Font.Size = 10;

This change the Style on every startup.
