Actually, Sherry, the message you were accused of sending in plain text DID
come through as plain text AND on MSN which does not allow replies or messages
to be sent in plain text!
The problem may not be always with the sending email program but with the
receiving email program.

Thank you, Jenny.
For the benefit of those who do not know, HTML was designed for creating
websites and not as a language for emails. The only reason it was ever used
for emails was so that advertisers good get their message across in full

You have no need to worry, most plain text settings will recognise a URL or
email address and express it as a link. That is done at your end, not the
