Even if your send tab is set to plain text default, when replying to an
HTML
message Outlook will automatically set your text to HTML, you still have
to
manually change it to plain text.

ToolsOptionsSend tab and uncheck the box to reply in the format in
which it was sent.

Another computer literacy question. Using Outlook Express and going
through
usenet I just responded to a post. When 'sending' I got message
apparently
I had composed in html. This has never happened before. Did I
respond
to
an html post (Will Koi stop growing) and that was the default? How do
I
change/check to make sure I am just using text based messages?


Tools...Options...Send Tab. Choose Plain text as your default.

Yes their post was in HTML which is a newsgroup no no. I got the same
message when replying. All you need to do is to highlight your text and go
up to format and hit plain text and itll change your post to plain text. You
can simply reply in HTML which I think is the modern way of doing things,
but some people get all uppity if you dont use plain text.

Why. I dont know, doesnt everyone have a cable modem and new PC nowadays
anyway?

You could buy a truck mirror replacement with a 1' bolt and drill a
1/4" hole through a 3/4" trim board on your computer desk and aim the
mirror at a TV behind you. I'm not a multi-tasking person, but I
don't have to get up or turn around when my wife wants me to see
smething on TV.

No. And even if they do, it may not be available.

Case in point: My family went on vacation this past week. My wife
made the hotel reservations and made certain the hotel had dataports
in most rooms - even made sure we got one of those rooms. When I
hooked up my trusty 300 Mhz laptop I discovered their interpretation
of 'Dataport' was limited to 2400 baud. Yes, we complained.
