FWIW, I'm composing all my mail directly from the Gmail Web interface. I've set it to always send plain text, and my message composition windows reflect that (no funky buttons for underlining and whatnot). When I reply to a rich-text or HTML email it starts off with "Rich formatting," but I immediately turn that off. It seems that either Gmail is being odd about character encoding, or others have sent messages with interesting encodings and gmail has just allowed my replies to inherit the setting. -- Brad Beyenhof . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . http://augmentedfourth.com Have the courage to be ignorant of a great number of things, in order to avoid the calamity of being ignorant of everything. ~ Sydney Smith, English essayist and preacher (1771-1845) -- KPLUG-List@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
