Bob, I replied to your test message indicating that it did indeed come through in plain text. With respect to replies to messages I have no knowledge of Thunderbird, but Outlook 2007 creates the reply in the same format as the original message unless I manually override it despite the fact that my default message format for all messages (not just this group) is plain text.

I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client. In my address book for [email protected], I have it set to: Prefers to receive messages formatted as PLAIN TEXT But when I create a new e-mail and address it to this user group, I look under OPTIONS, DELIVERY FORMAT, it is defaulting to AUTO-DETECT instead of PLAIN TEXT ONLY. (I manually changed it to plain text for this e-mail. I'm not sure if it would have defaulted to plain text or not). How to I force Thunderbird to send the msg as PLAIN TEXT instead of using AUTO-DETECT? Even worse, when I reply to someone, it appears that it is not using PLAIN TEXT. Any suggestions? Is there an easy way in Thunderbird to determine what format is being used before I send the msg? And/or a way to tell what format a rcvd msg is in?
