TECH: Turning off HTML formatting in email

[Susan Brown <smbrown@mindspring.com>]

Dear Friends,

Adam C. Engst of Tidbits mailing list has been running a series on
Listserve manners. I thought the information on turning off HTML
formatting in email messages might be useful to the members of our list.
Those of us who recieve our LM Nets by digest know that scrolling
through all those funky characters takes up lots of time and space--and
I'm sure many of us had no idea how to eliminate them.

  " Some email programs generate HTML formatting by default, so you
   may have to change settings to prevent it. For the programs listed
   below, I've identified the location of the formatting controls.
   Note that I'm using the arrow (->) as a shorthand notation
   indicating navigation, so the first item below would expand to:
   "From the Special menu, choose Settings, then scroll down to the
   Styled Text settings panel."

* Eudora Pro (Mac): Special -> Settings -> Styled Text
* Eudora Pro (Windows): Tools -> Options -> Styled Text
* Netscape Communicator (Mac/Windows): Edit -> Preferences -> Mail
   & Newsgroups -> Formatting
* Outlook Express (Mac): Edit -> Preferences -> Message
   Composition
* Outlook Express (Windows): Tools -> Options -> Send"
