I did that and it said that this email from you was in HTML mode, haha! I'm reading all of these posts with great interest because I really like to understand things (at least to the extent that a non-computer programmer can).
I really don't care how any of you send the posts because I don't have trouble with HTML but I'm interested in learning how to tell the difference. Personally, I wouldn't care if I EVER sent HTML messages because I'm not doing any sort of business advertising; I'm just trying to communicate something. I do like RECEIVING business emails in HTML though because that gives me the info I need in the email without having to click over to their website. When I get those sort of emails, my Gmail prompts me to decide whether or not I want to receive the HTML part and I can answer yes or not or check to always allow it on future emails from that company. I think someone said that some email providers convert the email to HTML even if it was sent PLAIN. you'd think they could do the opposite. I'm wondering if there is such a free service, web based or otherwise, and maybe the people who have trouble with HTML would benefit from using one of those services? I sympathize with their dilemma, particularly since it appears that even the best intentions are thwarted by the automation of our email providers. Still, I hate, hate, hate that some people are afraid to post their questions because they don't understand HTML/plain text and don't want to be blasted by the HTML police on this group. Nobody should be afraid to be booted off the list because of that. (my gmail is still in plain; I haven't changed anything, so this should come thru ok :-) On Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 4:00 PM, Ron Ferguson <[email protected]> wrote: > Yes, Jane, that is plain text. > > Kathy, I don't know about gmail, but have you tried right clicking the > header and looking at the properties?
