Kolb guys,



  Can anyone tell me how to change the text formatting style I have with this list. Presently I have the "plain text" style for the emails I send. This style is incredibly limiting, and if I had the option, I would prefer the "rich text" version.

  I have tried looking into the change myself, but can't seem to find a place that offers a choice.  Yet, I DO see other members that have the "rich text" version.



Thanks,



Mike Welch

Hi Mike,
	




I'm about a week behind on reading emails. Did you get an answer to your 

question? If not, what email software are you using? The menu items are 

set up differently in the various programs, so you need to specify what 

you're using to get an answer.



I use SeaMonkey (a combination of Firefox web browser & Thunderbird 

email client). In SeaMonkey, at the options bar on the top of the screen 

you click Edit>Preferences>  then under the Mail & Newsgroups category 

you click Send Format. From there, you pick how  you want to send the 

email (plain text, HTML, both plain & HTML, etc).



Be aware that some email servers will strip off any HTML even if you 

send it that way. Also, sending anything other than plain text often 

results in garbage characters embedded  in the receiver's display of the 

message.



If you're using Outlook (Ugh) and have MS Office on the computer, you 

can set it up to use MS Word to compose emails. I'd have to check on how 

to do it next week at work, where I'm forced to use Outlook. Be aware 

also that Outlook, if you don't have an effective firewall & virus 

checking, along with the most current bug fixes, is very vulnerable to 

hackers when you're on a broadband connection.
