Using a properly configured (html turned off under the sending configuration) K-9 "gmail" account instance and sending a message "from" gmail (i.e., using the gmail account as the "From:" and to authenticate and dropping it on the google mail server) results in a text-only message being delivered. The gmail MTA doesn't add an html part -- that's generally done in/by the MUA. My one enhancement wish for K-9 is that it would let me prioritize which part of a text/html multipart message it displays as the default when I open a message. By the way, I can't remember ever having problems with (properly formatted) URLs in messages -- even ones like "www. ...", that are lacking the protocol. - Richard -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the K-9 Mail Users List.
