Or, if you want HTML formatted messages on a one-off basis, then alt-O for formatting, and H for HTML will put the message in that format. I've had Outlook on occasion strip out pictures from HTML emails, no idea why though.

Hi Jim: Quite straight forward Alt+t for Tools Cursor up once to Options Ctrl+tab twice to Mail format The first tab has three options Html, rich text, text only. Make the choice, and then exit by apply or ok which ever is present - I can't recall off the top of my head.

Hi List, On behalf of a friend who is using Outlook. He is trying to send an e-mail with pictures and text combined. However, when the recipient receives the e-mail only the text is present and no pictures. I suspect he is sending the e-mail in plain txt only. In outlook how would he change the setting to send in plain txt, to send in HTML? I can't help him because I don't use Outlook. Any assistance gratefully received. thanks in advance. Jim.
