This is a test. I left it at "auto-detect" instead of changing it to PLAIN TEXT ONLY under the OPTIONS menu. It SHOULD default to plain text due to how Legacy is set up in my address book. Checking to see how it shows up once it hits the list. (Sorry - I can't think of any other way of testing

Check your master location list. I suspect that at one time a "fat finger" entry made it into your master list. On menu, select VIEW, then MASTER LIST, then LOCATION In the FIND box, start typingorange and I bet you will see the bad entry there. Double click on the bad entry to fix it. Bob
