[LegacyUG] Plain text test
This is a test. I left it at auto-detect instead of changing it to PLAIN TEXT ONLY under the OPTIONS menu. It SHOULD default to plain text due to how Legacy is set up in my address book. Checking to see how it shows up once it hits the list. (Sorry - I can't think of any other way of testing this without involving the list...)

Brian, Excellent. Never noticed that before. I'll give it a try. Thanks much. On a side note - I just took a look at the http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp link. I thought it used to say we are supposed to use plain text on the LUG - but I don't see that now. Has that preference been dropped? Or am I mis-remembering what was there?

RE: [LegacyUG] Plain Text was Living Flag in Legacy Gedcom export file
That's probably why I get messages that show an attachment when it's only embedded graphics. I'll be looking for an attachment when there is none. I always wondered about that. However, I have all my email set to send/receive as HTML except this list. It's probably an Outlook thing since I get emails with a message noting that images and formatting have been stripped then wonder what virus is lurking behind it. --- Bill Boswell -Original Message- From: Sherry/Support [mailto:she...@legacyfamilytree.com] Sent: Thursday, February 24, 2011 9:32 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@LegacyUsers.com Cc: Paul Gray Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Plain Text was Living Flag in Legacy Gedcom export file Embedded graphics only become attachments when the recipient has their email program set to receive all messages as plain text.

Re: [LegacyUG] Plain Text was Living Flag in Legacy Gedcom export file
Paul, If an email program is set to receive emails in plain text only, then the graphics are stripped out and are received as attachments. So yes, embedded images can be considered as an attachment. We have users from all over the world and many of them have limited internet access or on dial-up. HTML messages are considerably larger than plain text, especially if they contain graphics and animations. Please be considerate of those users by using only very basic HTML if you don't want to or can't switch to plain text.

Most viruses, Trojan horses, and worms are activated when you open an attachment or click a link contained in an email message. If your email client allows scripting, then it is possible to get a virus by simply opening a message. It's best to limit what HTML is available in your email messages. The safest way to view email messages is in plain text. end. So the answer to your question is yes, a virus can hide in embedded images, scripts, etc. I don't know what embedded text is but if it is embedded, it can hide viruses. -- Gene Young Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyusers.com/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
[LegacyUG] Plain text Test
Hello everyone, This is an plain text test of my new email server Thunderbird. I was having problems with my previous email,which was web based, and wouldn't display plain text properly when I posted to this forum. As a result several generous people on the Lug list offered to help and guide me in setting up T bird. I would like to thank them for their assistance. I am sending this email in plain text and would appreciate if someone would reply and tell me if this is in fact plain text.

Re: [LegacyUG] Plain Text Sending to LUG
In Windows Mail on Vista: - The option to assign a format for specific contacts is no longer available. (I did use it in OE.) - Replying in the format of the original is an optional setting, which I do use, since my default setting is html. Bottom line, I have to remember to double-check in either case (original or reply).

Re: [LegacyUG] Plain text
Jane, I just switched from rich text to plain text on this reply in Gmail. Once you switch to plain text, all of your newly composed emails and all of your reply emails will be in plain text until you change back to RTF by clicking on Rich formatting.

Re: [LegacyUG] Plain text
In Gmail - if you DO NOT click the Rich Formatting at the top (in blue) - it will go as Plain text. If it says plain text - just click it . Works for me! Keith -- Keith A.

I got it as plain text. But I get everything in plain text, even html stuff.
