Here I come again with my further questions. If I get an email in HTML and forward it, the recipient gets it in HTML unless his mail does not have the capability,( I tried it by forwarding The NEW York times etc to friends and my other address) and I also know that my e-mail letters are in rich text, the Umlaute will only show up in rich text; once in a while my mail pull down window reminds me of that, but then, I ask you, why and how would I, plain creature, even concoct an HTML message in an e-mail setting , even if my program had the capacity? I would have to learn a new language, using all these < / // " and what not signs for certain purposes , wouldn't I? I looked at the HTML website and it seems an ordeal to me. I have never had a tutorial in html language, of course I have never put up a website either. My pictures get through alright to my friends and so do my bold letters etc. I suppose I could also write cursive and in a different font like Lucida handwriting. When would one need to write HTML in a private e-mail setting? I am perplexed. Marta
