Patrick, I believe following that guidance is what started this flap in the first place. Unless I have a misconfiguration (very possible), my reading window and reply composition window don't match. The reading window has HTML enabled, which uses a typical sans serif font. When I want to reply, I get a Plain Text / Normal window with a monospace font. I can send the reply in that format, but when I see my reply in the mail list it's shown as HTML rather than plain text. I have no control over that. --Doc Savage Fairview Heights _______________________________________________ evolution-list mailing list [email protected] To change your list options or unsubscribe, visit ... https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-list
