Here's the reference to OE's Mail format I mentioned: http://www.okinfoweb.com/moe/format/format_005.htm Apparently, according to the author, OE translates plain text to HTML for viewing, regardless of the format chosen, so Ctrl F2 is showing the source of the message we're reading. Ctrl F3 will show the plain text version. **************************************************************************** ***********************
>I read somewhere that all OE email is HTML at some level. In OE 6 click CTRL >F2 on a plain text email and you'll see the HTML source. Not true. You can set OE to send plain text messages. See http://www.expita.com/nomime.html for details. The Ctrl+F2 is MS's attempt at converting a message to HTML. If you send a plain text message from another e-mail system (say Pine on Unix) and then do this trick (Ctrl+F2) OE will show it as HTML by replacing CR-LFs as the break (BR) tag and that is all. To see if a message was truly sent in HTML format, all you need do is to double-click the message, select File-Properties-Details and then click Message Source. www.zoemargo.com ============= PCWorks Mailing List ================= Don't see your post?
