I've looked and I cannot see where this configuration option is in my Eudora 5.1 on Win 98SE. There is an option to use MS's rendering engine for viewing mail. I don't see a comparable option for composing mail. Besides which, I've looked at the headers and nothing their indicated rtf or styled or anything other than plain text ASCII. ############################################################# This message is sent to you because you are subscribed to the mailing list <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.
