Again, if I have HTML >> mail turned off, that shouldn't happen, right? Hi Kirk, Like Eddie said, the message was simple HTML so the preference had no effect. Take a look at this method I posted on the Entourage newsgroup if you're sure you don't want to see any HTML mail: ------------------- The setting to allow and disallow the display of complex HTML messages only concerns messages with tables and other elements that you cannot create in Entourage HTML messages but can create in web pages. Most likely the messages you're receiving have simple HTML and can be rendered by Entourage, whereas the more advanced ones are rendered by Internet Explorer. There's no setting to turn off the display of HTML , however, if you're sure you never want to see HTML mail, you could set up a rule so that HTML is removed from all incoming mail and the content is converted to plain text. Download Allen Watson's free " Strip HTML " script and place it into the Entourage Script Menu Items folder (HD/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft User Data). <http://www.scriptbuilders.net/?search= Strip +HTML> Then, launch Entourage, and create a rule to run the script on all HTML messages. Go to Tools -> Rules, click New, and create one like this: * Execute actions if all criteria are met IF Is HTML mail THEN Run AppleScript Strip HTML Click OK, and you'll find that all incoming HTML messages are edited to remove the HTML. ------------------- Hope this helps. > That's odd, since I sent it as plain text, not HTML at all. Hi Allen, The e-mail you sent is definitely HTML; that's why it appears in Times New Roman and why my reply to your message was in HTML.
