The one place I could find in Preferences to select plain text vs. HTML is Mail & Newsgroups/Send Format/Send the message in formatted text (html) anyway.....
On the main mail toolbar (Get Msgs | Compose | Reply | Reply All | ...), you can make the decision on the fly for a given message: hold down the SHIFT key while clicking "Compose" or "Reply" and you'll get the non-default value. If your default sending format is plain text, the SHIFT key produces an HTML message; if your default is HTML, the SHIFT key produces a plain text message.
So I checked that, closed and reopened. Assuming I'm now composing in HTML, I can find no format toolbar, including under View-Show/Hide- or in the customize box.
If you're composing in HTML, you should see fancy fonts and other enhancements; you should be able to toggle bolding, italic, etc. by doing CTRL-B, CTRL-I, etc. If none of that works, and all you see is plain-vanilla text, well, that's plain text.
The "View | Show/Hide... Formatting Toolbar" to which I referred is only available in the mail composition window, not the main mail window that lists your messages. The main mail window does have "View | Show/Hide...," but "Formatting Toolbar" is not an option there because it's not relevant.
BTW, there are a few conventions for rendering basic formatting in plain text, and SM knows how to interpret them:
*this is boldface* (use asterisks) /this is italics/ (use slashes) _this is underlined_ (use underscores) But that's not true HTML. -- War doesn't determine who's right, just who's left. -- Paul B.
