I have never seen a setting in the Mail app for that.

Since he doesn't have an iPhone, you can't use the message app on the

I don't know which ones are particularly good with VoiceOver, but I'm
sure there must be reviews on Applevis.com that would help.

I don't have an accessible cell phone for sending texts, and I
frequently text my husband's cell phone with my computer email client or

Victor, thanks for the clarification on this. and my apologies to the list
for any omission from my post. I use Outlook as my email client and I have
the ability to select the sending format on a message by message basis if I
want plain text rather than the default html.

Hi Alan,

 

It all depends on how your computer or iPod Touch composes e-mails.  Unless
you have it set to compose in plain text, all messages are composed in HTML,
which forces the text message to be sent as an MMS and so the data charges
get charged.

 

Having said that, I noticed, Teresa, that you're using a MAC computer for
your e-mail.  If that's true, there should be in your mail settings the
ability to specify how your messages are composed, either in plain text, or
HTML.

 

You'll have to switch the composition of e-mails to plain text, at which
point, you can use the e-mail addresses Alan specified in his message.

 

Hope this helps.

It is possible to send text messages using your email client on your

stands for Short Message Service. SMS messages are usually limited to 160
characters when sent using a mobile device but might be limited to 140

on the recipient's service provider but I have not fully researched the
limitation.

 

Messages with pictures or without limitation on length can also be sent via
a computer's email client. These messages are called iMessages in the iOS
world or mms messages in general. MMS stands for Multimedia Message Service.

The format of the sent to address governs which type of message is sent and
varies for each provider. The format begins with the 10-digit mobile phone

As Richard and I said, we haven't found a way to change the format the 
IOS email client uses when you compose a message. From Googling this, it 
looks like you might be able to do it as the default if you use a Mac. 
It isn't clear from what I read, but it looks like the email client on 
your iPod should use the same default setting that you're using on your 
Mac. I assume this is after you sync things between your iPod and your 
Mac. Like I said, it wasn't clear to me from what I read that this 
always worked, but it might be something to look into, assuming you're 
using a Mac and syncing things with your iPod. It did seem pretty clear 
that you couldn't control this on your iPod though, but you might want 
to check my findings with your own Google search.

Re: Sending Plain Text emails?

2014-03-23 Thread Christopher J Chaltain
This is not determined by your email provider. This is a function of 
your email client. As Richard says, I don't know how to change this in 
the email client on the iPhone. You might check out other email clients 
or as Richard suggests, look into texting applications from your iPhod. 
This has been discussed on this list several times, so you can check the 
list archive. Google Voice does do this and does work well with VoiceOver.

I have never seen a setting in the Mail app for that.

Since he doesn't have an iPhone, you can't use the message app on the 
Touch.  But, there are quite a few texting apps out there.


I don't know which ones are particularly good with VoiceOver, but I'm 
sure there must be reviews on Applevis.com that would help.

I don't have an accessible cell phone for sending texts, and I 
frequently text my husband's cell phone with my computer email client 
or iPod using phonenumber@provider.something 
<mailto:phonenumber@provider.something> . If I send an html message, 
he gets a multimedia message that is often delayed and costs him more 
money. How can I send a plain-text email on my iPod 5?


thanks,

I think that is determined by your Email Service Provider.  I think you
would have to set all outgoing Email's to plain text on their end.

I have never seen a setting in the Mail app for that.

Since he doesn't have an iPhone, you can't use the message app on the Touch.
But, there are quite a few texting apps out there.
