Hi Donna, You're using a MicroSoft only configuration for email that is not internet standard. You should be able to go to the tools menu of MS Outlook or Outlook Express and click "Option", and then click the Mail Format or "Send" tab. Under the Send tab is the message format list. You want to select plain text or HTML (not Rich Text Format) and click OK.
Here's the MicroSoft Knowledge Base page that describes the problem and solution (probably in more detail than you need): http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290809 Or, you could move your files between machines by following the instructions Jonathan posted for setting up SMB on the Mac. (I've never quite done it this way, but I have used the Command-K "Connect to server" shortcut from Finder, and then typed in something like smb://192.168.1.2 where the latter set of digits is the local network address. For connections to other macs, use something like afp://192.168.1.2) Cheers, Esther On Aug 10, 2009, Donna Goodin wrote: > > Hello all, > > this may be more of a Windows question than a Mac question, so my > apologies in advance. > > I am still moving back and forth between my PC and my Mac, and because > I have certain tasks that I need to do on my Windows machine, I will > probably need to do so for a while.
