Don, Kay, and Wendy
Thank you so much for the pointers, I have set the LEGACY mail to send
in only plain text and I hope this one goes that way as well and I do have
Outlook Express
Blessings

Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] HTML
I accidentally sent a post to this list in HTML just recently too. Now
I've worked out what happened, I'll share the details in case it helps
someone else...
I switched to using Mozilla Thunderbird for my emails a month or so back.
One of the first settings I set up was to make all emails to Rootsweb and
Legacy in plain text. So far, so good - that worked a charm.
BUT, along the way, I got tired of the program asking me frequently if I
wanted to send in plain text or HTML for addresses where I hadn't set
their preference, so I went in and found the particular setting governing
this behaviour - under Tools / Options / Composition / General, then click
on the "Send Options" button, and in the first setting choose the
behaviour for "When sending messages in HTML format and one or more
recipients are not listed as being able to receive HTML" I chose "send the
message in both plain text and HTML".
Once I'd set that, things changed and I suddenly found that my next post
went to the LUG in HTML. Oops! Sorry! This setting over-rode the one
I'd made in the first instance, that stated "legacyusergroup.com" was only
to be sent plain text (which happens to be on the same screen as the one I
described above).
What I've done to remedy this is to go into my Address Book and set for
the LUG address that it is only to be sent plain text, and now I'm back to
not having to remember to set plain text for my posts, and I'm not bugged
by messages for recipients who aren't in my Address Book, or I haven't
said which form they're to get. Should have done that in the first place,
but didn't know what was to come. ;-)
If you're using Outlook Express, there is a setting there, in the Address
Book, if I remember correctly, where you can determine that all emails
sent to that particular address will be in plain text. I used to use that
before switching programs.
Hope this helps someone. :-)
