Your slashes had the desired effect here. So did the asterisks and

characters is not a letter, found it mildly annoying but not a big
enough issue to spend time on it. Dunno how they look in other programs.


Paul, in my own message that I was replying to above, (in the bit that I

/Italics/ did!!


Both come out in italics!


Yes, because, at this level of quoting, they both begin and end on the 
same line, i.e. no CRLF characters with-in the slants.

If you wish to apply the effect (Bold, Underline and Italics) to the odd 
word  or to a few words in individual *Text* e-mails, you can use 
*asterics for bold* , _Underscores for underlining_ and /Slants for 
Italics/ .


However there is a slight problem in that these effects only work if the 
character next to them is a letter, I think!! That is *1234* will 
(probably/hopefully) *not* be bolded , but *abcd* will be bolded.

Apparently, you kept all the formatting on the same line.

Cheers.


Must have a bug in my Thunderbird. Neither of those work when viewing
/in Thunderbird/.


Because both contain periods inside the formatting marks. Try it without:

/This works/

/This does
not work/

If you wish to apply the effect (Bold, Underline and Italics) to the odd
word  or to a few words in individual *Text* e-mails, you can use
*asterics for bold* , _Underscores for underlining_ and /Slants for
Italics/ .


Hmm! I wonder why the /Italics/ didn't work?? Must be wrong symbol!!



Because of the line wrap.

Absent that, Edit - Preferences - Advanced - Check default application

Also, you can define in Preferences - Mail  Newsgroups - Send Format 
which is the default composition format of your mail. If you want to use 
that rich-text experience in all mail, this is the place to set it.

Trane Francks,

I have that checked (Send the message as formatted text (HTML) anyway) 
and I still cannot get it to show up without going the route suggested 
by Walt.


This is happening on two (2) different systems, Vista and W8 machines, 
unless I have checked the incorrect box??

I looked there earlier today, and couldn't find a way to set my overall 
default. I can only set defaults for listed domains (and of course add 
domains to the list).


Where do you see the global default pref?

Oh, d'uh. *facepalm* SO sorry about that. My answer was completely off 
the mark. That'll teach me for not paying attention to what I'm typing. 
What I specified previously is related to how mail is sent with regard 
to mail preferences for contacts in your address book. Sorry.


For generally choosing whether to create HTML mail, go into Mail  
Newsgroups Account Settings and in the Composition  Addressing section 
for the particular mail account, check Compose messages in HTML format.

Sorry. Per a later message I posted, please find the main setting in 
Mail  Newsgroups Account Settings - Composition  Addressing.
