I had no idea this was still a subject. I respond so infrequently yet the topic remains. I get your points.
But obviously my email client doesn't. I am set to plain text every single time I respond to this list. The problem is not ignorance but more likely that I'm using a Mercedes email client for a Yugo list. Overkill. Admittedly it's killing me too because it should work properly but does not. Not sure why this was never an issue prior to coming to this list. Go figure. No, please don't. LOL This email is in plain text as my email client interprets such. I have not hit REPLY but put together a brand new email... so that's not it either. Yet I now too see bold type but cannot change it (no choices when set on plain text). My default can be either plain text or rich text. I even went into advanced settings and switched the default to plain text and still nada. Incredimail has been known for having some of these type problems. It just hadn't happened to me (knowingly) in the five years I've been using it. Sorry for any inconvenience Mateys. A boldface type, extra lines, or whatever it is that irritates your Christmas stockings. I'll see what I can figure out as it is a problem. No help needed, so thanks but no thanks... I just haven't had the time to really pay much attention to it in the prior months but will at some later date. Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday Season and can now move their reindeer forward.

Any thing other than plain text will add a whole bunch of extra data to the message. Charmaine's response (in bold with rich text formatting) is an excellent example of the type of technical ignorance we're talking about here. It's not the list server that's the problem - it's individual's not understanding their mail clients and the data they're propagating. Recognizing that some on the list are cruising, and therefore have limited data access is a kindness we should all embrace, IMHO. To send this message plain text" I need to go to my Mail Application and tell it to do so (default is Rich Text). Unfortunately if someone is using a webmail client, they might not have that option.
