Mike, All I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to compose email in plain text on my latest android phone. From what I can tell, it can't be done. Maybe it's the same for the i phone.

Theredoesn't seem to be a way to adjust the format of outgoing email from an iPhoneor iPad. Most info I have found makes me believe that iOS sends plain text bydefault but I have had problems as well. I think that the final formatting canbe affected by the content (e.g. links) or also by the email provider. Theissue has actually made me consider removing the restriction onhtml.Regards, ArtSent from my iPhone> On Apr 30, 2015, at 11:35 AM,Michael Farmer <m...@meteoriteguy.com> wrote:> > I still don't understand.

Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get the joy from facebook that themet list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 words on facebook. I really can'tput my finger on what the disconnect is, but it's there. Perhaps it's thesnippets of info instead of more details, maybe it's the hundreds of people thatwant to be my 'friend' that I've never heard of. Maybe I feel like it's going tobe to much of a commitment once I dive in?
