View the page (on the server) in Safari 4. Go to: File / Mail Contents of this Page (or Command+I) 5. Send.

Harumph, thanks a lot. :-p With the plain text default in place, it's simple to switch to HTML version in Mail.app, just press command-option-] I do that a lot; the voicemail-email bridge at work comes in as very ugly links that don't work out of the plain text version; so I have to switch so I can select the 'delete this voicemail' link.

If you must refer to some kind of web page content, include a URL to an actual web page. Don't cram the content into the email. I delete html emails and never view them as html.

Pretty easy in Outlook. Not so easy in Mail as it prefers RTF.

Some people won't even tke HTML formatted emails. Be sure to add a text version. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

My main problem is trying to get my wife to send plain text email from Apple's OS X mail application. All I ever get is three lines of text in a 300 kB file that's mostly irrelevant HTML css scripts. Between us we haven't found a button that sends only ASCII. Actually much of the data originates at the iTunes store and all I want is the amount to be entered into my Excel finance worksheet. A copy and paste from an iTunes receipt is to be avoided. But RTF in Apple's email terminology definitely means HTML. RTF, as used by TextEdit is entirely different and is an older version of Microsoft's RTF which originated in the BASIC compiler and now has morphed into something that TextEdit and older versions of WORD can't read. There is another RTF format that was once used in email. There is an RFC about it but I haven's seen an email in that format since Al Gore invented the internet. -- -- The corporate income tax is a sales tax collected, on behalf of the government, through price increases.
