Different systems treat outgoing mail differently. A friend of mine has all
his email settings at text only but once the outgoing email goes through
exchange server to be sent then a long disclaimer is attached to the email
and it is converted to html. He has no control over this and hence all the
companys email is sent in html. as Ray indicated, web based eamil is
usually setnt in html by default as it often contains fancy fonts and
images. This is the preferred format for advertising to be sent as you can
simply click on web links in html email rather than copy and pasting them
into the browser.

I don't know a general answer to your question Derek as to whether its
possible to choose between sending messages as plain text or HTML, but I'd
guess its down to the ISP being used and the webmail program or design of
the page they are using.
From what I've seen of lists using webmail they are much more prity in
appearance than the plain text formatting we are used to on these lists.
Not only in font style, but using different colours for the senders message
and the messages he/she is replying to. also pictures are often included
too.
So, I would say nearly always people are using HTML formatting with webmail.
I'll be interested to see what others reply on this subject.

| Hi All
| Is it possible for an email to be sent in plain text, but arrive in HTML!
| The sender is using web mail, ie is typing directly on their ISP's
server.
