I think we replied to you about this the other day. Go into tools and then options. Mail options. Read all messages in plain text. Check that. OK twice. Done! What is it you don't like about html? Links come up as links whatever mode you use these days and traditional does not mean text only, its just a different message layout. Erica.

The problem is, that initially when I was using Outlook Express, I was receiving all messages in plain text, but now on some groups, I am receiving messages in .html format. With Yahoo and Google I've got accounts so I've tried to set things so that they are in traditional mode in both these cases, and I think it's worked, but I'm not certain that it is working. With Freelists, messages in some groups are coming through in plain text, while others are coming through in what I believe to be .html. Can someone advise me what I should do to get all messages coming through from all groups in plain text please. Thank you in advance, and I apologise to the moderators if it is felt that this message is a little off topic.
