Although it may be mostly styled text, there must be something in the message that can't be rendered by Entourage itself and is being passed to the Internet Explorer HTML engine as for all "complex HTML". It could be a logo in the signature, or it could be that Lotus includes a table in all emails even if you don't see one. Complex HTML messages rendered by IE don't contain just the selection when replying - that is, even when you manage to select something. Try it with an obvious complex HTML message and you'll see. Then check the Source of one of these Lotus messages and I bet you'll see it has a part with HTML tags. One of them will be <TABLE> or else there will be <a href> tags to URLs. -- Paul Berkowitz -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
