Messages sent in this format allow you to use different fonts and font sizes; underline, boldface, or italicize text; easily create bulleted or numbered lists and links to web sites; and attach files. Not all mail programs support HTML, and not all users prefer to receive HTML-formatted messages. Some programs display messages in HTML format as if they were in plain text, including HTML tags and other format coding that can make the original message difficult to read. If you are sending a message to someone who can't read HTML-formatted messages (also called 'rich text'), you can switch to plain text. You can also specify plain text only for messages sent to a specific address or domain. Messages sent in plain text lose all formatting and attachments. Replies to (and forwarded) plain text messages are also sent in plain text. To change the plain text setting while you are composing a message: Click in the message area of the Write Mail window. Change the plain text setting: Click the T icon just below the Subject label to toggle the message between plain text and rich text formatting; or Open the Format menu and choose Rich Text or Plain Text. When the T icon is red, the message uses rich text. When the T icon is black, the message uses plain text. When you change the plain text setting from a Write Mail window, the setting 'sticks' for all subsequent messages you write. For example, if you switch from rich text to plain text for one message and then open a new Write Mail window, that window will also be set to use plain text. To change the plain text setting for all messages you send to an address or domain: Open the Edit menu and choose Preferences. Click Advanced Options. Click Add. Type the email address or domain for which you want all messages to be sent in plain text. If you specify a domain (such as example.net), you' ll have an opportunity to switch to plain text whenever you address a message to an email address that includes that domain. Click OK. </snip> -- Mike Easter --part1_1a0.1b3fedff.2cb59539_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-Path: <kplug-newbie-return-14017-swvaroot7=aol.com@kernel-panic.org> Received: from rly-xm02.mx.aol.com (rly-xm02.mail.aol.com [172.20.83.103]) by air-xm04.mail.aol.com (v96.8) with ESMTP id MAILINXM42-5f43f839d25289; Wed, 08 Oct 2003 01:14:31 2000 Received: from sparkplug.kernel-panic.org (sparkplug.kernel-panic.org [216.188.24.190]) by rly-xm02.mx.aol.com (v96.8) with ESMTP id MAILRELAYINXM24-5f43f839d25289; Wed, 08 Oct 2003 01:14:14 -0400 Received: (qmail 3728 invoked by uid 529); 8 Oct 2003 05:14:09 -0000 Mailing-List: contact kplug-newbie-help@kernel-panic.org; run by ezmlm Precedence: bulk X-No-Archive: yes Reply-to: kplug-newbie@kernel-panic.org list-help: <mailto:kplug-newbie-help@kernel-panic.org> list-unsubscribe: <mailto:kplug-newbie-unsubscribe-swvaroot7=aol.com@kernel-panic.org> list-post: <mailto:kplug-newbie@kernel-panic.org> Delivered-To: mailing list kplug-newbie@kernel-panic.org Received: (qmail 3723 invoked from network); 8 Oct 2003 05:14:09 -0000 Message-ID: <002701c38d5a$f43fc9a0$850fcb40@san.rr.com> From: "Mike Easter" <michael.easter@earthlink.net> To: <kplug-newbie@kernel-panic.org> References: <12.36c93265.2cb4b66f@aol.com> Subject: Re: Newbie to Newbie Date: Tue, 7 Oct 2003 22:13:45 -0700 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V5.50.4522.1200 X-ELNK-Trace: 31bc906f3f6943c1e112ac949d55df1194f5150ab1c16ac0175e62059bacab52a9b644dfe2a73797cec7cab92fb36ae4350badd9bab72f9c350badd9bab72f9c X-AOL-IP: 216.188.24.190 Swvaroot7@aol.com wrote: > cdl@proxima.ucsd.edu writes: > By the way, you can gain yourself a fair amount of good will by > sending to a mailing list in nothing but plain text. > Sorry.
