May I butt in here? I run many Rootsweb mailing lists that don't allow HTML formatted messages to be posted to their lists. So what I do is turn off HTML in my Outlook Express for all messages I send out but when I want to send HTML formatted messages to someone I use the method described below to switch it on.
To turn off HTML for ALL messages you send you need to do the following: 1. Open Outlook Express 2. Click on Tools>Options in the toolbar 3. Click on the *Send* tab 4. Go down to *Mail sending format* 5. Check off *Plain Text* 6. Click on *Apply* in the lower-right-hand corner 7. Click on *OK* This will then ensure that ALL messages you send are in *Plain Text* not *HTML* You may also want to do the following in the same window as above: 8. Uncheck - Reply to messages in the format that they were sent What this does is stop you from sending a message in the format it was sent to you. For instance, if someone sent you an HTML formatted message you will be replying to it in Plain Text.
