Hold down the Shift key when you click on the "Compose" icon in the tool 
bar?


Or in its toolbar icon, use compose's down arrow option to get two 
format options.

Thank you!
I was clicking on Compose and then looking for options.  That's the way 
it works with Outlook at work.

Sending one html mail

[Don Spam's Reckless Son]

I normally send plain text mails but occasionally feel the need to send 
a mail in html format, normally because I need the html formatting for 
that one mail.
The only way I can think of to do this is to set the recipient as 
"Prefers to receive messages formatted as HTML" in the address-book, 
reverting to "Unknown" or "Plain Text" after the mail has been sent.

Unless the recipient has the same E-mail application that you have, it
is possible the recipient's application does not handle HTML the same
way your application handles it.  It is also possible that the recipient
has set an option to display E-mail as plain-text.

Last month, I studied a number of HTML-formatted messages I had received
and discovered that they contained an average of 6 HTML syntax errors
per thousand bytes of file-size.  I would suspect that SeaMonkey (using
the same mailnews core as Thunderbird, based on Gecko) might generate
HTML-formatted messages that are close to error-free.  However, a
different E-mail application that creates HTML-formatted messages with
significant HTML syntax errors might also have problems correctly
displaying HTML-formatted messages.

My solution is to create a Web page and upload it to my ISP's Web
server.  Then send a brief E-mail message with a link to that page.



re: ISP's Web server - Comcast (for one) no longer supports users' web 
pages.  Would a link to a dropbox folder work as well?

I found that if I installed Cygwin (free) with its command-line email 
program, that "email" can send an HTML file as an HTML email message.

sending an HTML file as the message, not an attachment

[Bob Fleischer]

How would I send an HTML file as the mail message, not as an attachment?

I can insert the text of the HTML file into an HTML message I am 
composing, but the result doesn't work correctly at the receiving end, 
probably due to the HTML context into which the HTML file is inserted.


I just want to tell the mail editor: "Instead of you creating an HTML

Open HTML file in a text editor or a browser View Source window.  Select 
all the HTML code, choose Copy.


Open an HTML mode compose window.  Choose Insert - HTML.  Paste the HTML 
code.

Why not just forward it as an attachment?

I've looked in Preferences  Mail  Newsgroups and can't find the switch 
to turn off plain text in this one instance.

If you're configured to send in plain text format, then you should
be able to use Shift+Reply (or Shift+Forward as the case may be) to
compose this message in HTML format.

FYI.

I guess there is no comfortable way of achieving this (at least to
my knowledge). You will need to enter the Mail and Newsgroup
Account preferences (not Preferences = Mail  Newsgroups), select
your account there and enable HTML Composing BEFORE hitting reply. 
Then answer the email and set it back afterwards. regards

uh yeah, Shift+action I always forget about that again. Ignore that
complicated way above ;-)
