Yeah but what I meant is it's not the HTML "source code", the area "message source" is just plain text, no symbols, etc. It appears exactly as the email does, I still see the same vertical thin line in "message source" that I see in the email. (Same thing as right clicking the message and going to "properties"). Now in OE on an HTML formatted email, you can click reply or fwd and if you have the box checked to 'reply to messages in the format received' you'll then see a 'source' tab at the bottom of the email which is the HTML code, and IT would then have the key characters for symbols. But since it's plain text, that method can't be done. -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Kaulback" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint, I forgot you are using a different client than me :/ OE can view the source of plain text email too. For me in Eudora, I can view the formatting of all messages regardless, simply right clicking to view the source of Harold's message brings up a menu from which I can view the source. You can do this as well in OE by going to File, Properties, Details, Message Source .... Most messages have formatting of some kind.
