Regarding email formatting- Many people use the built-in mail client in Netscape, or their favorite web browser, for instance, to view their email. Netscape supports "rich text", which means a user may view mail that is formatted. RTF, the rich text format, is also complimented by these clients' ability to recognize and format utilizing HTML, the standard language for web pages. This assumes, of course, that everyone is in a perfect world using a web browser to read their email, or at least a client, such as Eudora Pro, to view it. The browser "encodes" the messages in RTF and/or HTML, and the client views it, just like a browser window.
The easiest thing to do is to turn off the HTML formatting (or RTF) at the source. The sender of the email has the option in his or her "Preferences" or "Options" to turn off the "send HTML" features. Then, the recipient will receive only the plain text. Also, the feature that allows Eudora Pro to activate links is because of the program's built-in ability to identify a certain string of text, such as "http://www.pilot-jobs.com";. It will probably do the same if I type in an email address, such as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Hope this information proved useful. Thanks and happy holidays to everyone! Zach
