<< Hmmmm.... does all mail from this list come HTMLified or just some?

"HTMLified"? <G>

I chose *not* to convert messages, so I receive them in text format if they're sent that way or in HTML if they're sent in HTML format.

Does that help?

I send and receive via the Cory list, using TAPCIS. I send only plaintext,
and my messages from the list arrive without attachments, HTML or other.

Marijke,

Yours arrived OK as a fixed font (including the 'degree ° signs)... But If I choose 'text only' in Outlook then I have no choices
about fonts or encoding...font menu's are 'greyed' and encoding either also 'greyed' or on format menu the only option for encoding
is 'auto-select'.

You're asking me? I provided *one* answer today -- and now you want two? ROFL!

Not really <g>. I think i am sending text (Content-Type clearly says
"text/plain" in the header of the message after it comes back from
Yahoo! *after* having been trough C'Serve and GMail and whoever else
might mess it up). Still some people report seeing HTML. What on Earth
is going on?

I see in the header that my ploy worked, in as far as the choice of

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-7

also implies it got

Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

(they are really separate things, but i can't set the latter myself,
some people manage charset ISO-8859-1 with 7bit but i clearly can't).

The big question though: is it now no longer showing as HTML? I can't
tell here. Tim, Judy et al., what's the verdict?

Well, today, at least, I've received text messages from you. I've given up trying to figure out "what on Earth is going on" when it comes to some aspects of computing. <sigh>

I would guess that those still seeing HTML checked the option "Convert
to HTML - Convert plain-text messages sent to me to HTML" in Message
Format when they joined the Yahoo Cory Group. It might even be the
default. It can be changed in the web view of the Group by clicking
on 'Edit Membership'. So it's not you, it's them!

What gets me is that I can find no-way to set those things *in outlook* (i.e. coding and 7-8bit etc) so..... I started looking
elsewhere and hit a different problem:

for reasons all my own this is a DELL laptop made in USA... I have set the language to en-uk where I can; but I cannot set the
keyboard to UK (else I lose the \ symbol - I know I could multi key it but it doesn't occur on any key and as a programmer that is
fairly serious so I left the keyboard in USA Overseas Extended) -- but because of the keyboard (and Dell were really unhelpful about
this) I have to start the machine in Usenglish and the startup changes it at some stage to US Overseas extended.... The spell
checkers in office are all en-uk except OutLook and FrontPage which do not appear to have any way to obey the general setting (in
fact they don't obey the same rules as the rest of office even when you do set them to UK)

As far as I can tell, since I turned off that HTML option,
presumably a default, I've not seen any HTML from anyone.
