Catherine, The only way I have found to change replies to text format is to do it as you compose the email. When in the body of the email select alt and o for the format menu, and then select t for text. If the email is in html it will ask you to confirm you want to change the format, so just hit enter to do so. hth Mark Threadgold -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Catherine Turner Sent: 03 May 2005 17:27 To: Access-UK Subject: [access-uk] HTML messages in Outlook 2000 Hi, When I send messages they go out in plain text. But when I reply they go in HTML. Can anyone tell me where, in Outlook 2000, I stop this replying in HTML? I've looked in Tools/Options/Mail Format and can't find it, but probably missing something...
