It seems I left out a vital part in this message, how to change from Rich Text to Plain Text. see below Please could I ask all those people who send out their emails in RICH TEXT (HTML) format to change their settings to PLAIN TEXT format as it would make life so much easier when replying. RICH TEXT (HTML) is used in Web Sites and not Emails. To change your Email from Rich Text to Plain Text.in Outlook Express open Outlook Express as if you were going to download your Emails. Look at the Menu at the top of the page and you will see 'Tools'. Click on this and then scroll down until you see 'Options' and click on 'Options' In Options, at the top you will see a row of tags. Look for the tag which says 'Send'. when the page opens you will see near the bottom 'Mail sending format' & 'News sending format' HTML & PLAIN TEXT. Click the box next to PLAIN TEXT for both of these items. At the bottom you will see a button which is highlighted 'Apply', click on this then click on 'OK'. All emails will be sent as Plain Text from now on. A big thank you.
