Hi Everyone, Just putting in my $0.02 here to whoever cares. With Outlook XP, the email format _can_ be changed with the choice of HTML, Plain Text or Rich Text for _both_ sending and replying mail. I don't have Outlook 2000 or 98 running here, so cannot comment on that. However, I assume that instead of replying, the text in message can always be copied and pasted into a new message with Plain Text format :^).
BTW, Outlook XP also automatically blocks off sending and receiving files with exe, vbs and quite a few others, if anyone figures out how to save those attachments please let me know, thanks. Robin ________________ To Randy If you like to add screen shot of where to turn off HTML in Outlook XP, let me know and I will email them to you.

I have outlook set to text only on new messages, and txt only on reply.. but outlook still occasionally uses html if you respond to a html email.. its a pain that.. pretty soon I will ditch outlook and then winblows altogether.. Virus's are going to demand that I do, my linux mail server has stopped so many virus's from being recieved lately that it is rediculous... and I don't believe that its going to get any better... Still, even if I was using only linux I would still use postfix/amavisd/filescan to do all my emailing, because I don't wish to make matters worse, and even if uneffected myself, I would not want to pass virus's along not knowing what they are, (since the will not execute on linux I may not even know they are virus's and pass them on.) but I love the fact that my 3 linux mail servers all do a fantastic job of protecting winblows users. I have saved about 30 or more virus's in the last week, and most of them have been badtrans... (got another 3 of them last night.) love this linux..

This email should be in plain text now. -----Original Message----- From: Randy Kramer [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, December 03, 2001 1:49 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [expert] viruses, worms, trojans, html, pgp sigs I don't use Outlook, but I once tried to help somebody shut off HTML sending and think I accomplished it (for Outlook 97). Try checking out this page: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/OutlookExpressPlainText Note a few things: * Even though the URL refers to Outlook Express, I am fairly certain that this was really for Outlook 97. There are some screen shots attached that might help (and they show the critical checkbox to uncheck the option to send HTML). * The page is *very* rough -- I collected the information (mistakenly) because I thought it was Outlook that my friend was having trouble with -- when I found out it was Exchange, I just saved the notes for future reference. * If you look into that page, give me some feedback -- you can do that either by email or by adding comments to the page. Hope this helps, Randy Kramer Mike Leone wrote: > No, that won't help. I don't use Word as my email editor - no sane > person does :-) - and my Outlook still likes to send in HTML.
