(313) Plain text please, G-Mailers

2008-04-14 Thread kent williams
I thought it was clear, but it apparently bears repeating, especially for people subbed to 313 with GMAIL: The 313 list only accepts plain text messages. If you don't know what 'plain text' is, it means no bold, underlined, or colorful text. In GMail to make sure you're sending plain text, look

You just gotta watch it, gmail SEEMS to me to randomly turn on rich formatting. It's the first button above typing in the message body. If it says Rich formatting , you have it where you want it. If it says Plain Text and has some text formatting options, click the plain text button. And keep

I don't think it's actually random -- it has something to do with stuff it finds in the mail header -- if someone sends you an HTML-format email the reply will be 'Rich formatting' because it will try to preserve the formatting in the quoted message. But if you're reading a plain text message and

The thing that's weird is I could swear I've replied to messages that came through the list and it turned on rich formatting on its own. I've had a number of messages rejected for rich text, and I never turned it on, just missed the switcheroo. On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 2:39 PM, kent williams

That's a mystery in so many ways. I tried figuring it out by looking at the message source but I couldn't tell what was triggering GMail into acting nutty. Unless Placid wants to change mail clients, we're stuck with it. As much as I like GMail, sending a question to their support team has never

Well, it's free, and reading 313 in gmail thread format is superior by far to both digest and individual messages. I don't know if gmail's still going by invite, but I have 99 if anyone wants one. I am a big advocate of reading 313 in gmail, personally. Just keep a close watch on the formatting

I use gmail since day 1. But, quite a long time ago, i tried do subscribe to 313 using my gmail. Didn't work out. Guess 313 didn't accept any free mail service at that time. Kw On 14/04/2008, at 20:30, Thomas D. Cox, Jr. wrote: On Mon, Apr 14, 2008 at 5:08 PM, Thor Teague [EMAIL
