Hi Dorathy,
The reason it comes in black on black is because the software will send
an HTML part to the message. There are a number of ways round this, the
main one being to switch off HTML sending in Outlook Express, and to
send in plain text only.
You may have been told this before, but the way to turn it off is to
start Outlook Express
1. Go to tools menu, then options.
2. Go to the sending tab in the options dialog box.
3. Untick the box that says "Reply to messages using the format in
which they were sent".
4. Further down the page there is a group of radio buttons called "Mail
Sending Format" - choose the option to send in Plain Text, not HTML
(HTML is the default setting).
5. Click on OK on that screen and send some messages - they should go
through in plain text. The bit people miss is to not untick the first
box - send replies in the same format as which the original message was
sent, which means that if I sent a message in HTML, you would reply to
it, and it would use the colour settings etc that were used before.
For reference, any HTML reader would read the message as black on black.
I originally read the message whilst at work - I can read messages with
a webmail system called Outlook Web Access, which does read HTML parts,
which is how I knew it was black on black. It didn't bother me, as Jaws
at work just ploughed through it, but I have some vision. I then
switched to using a different system, called Horde Webmail, which
ignored the HTML part, and read it normally.
I was at a conference a few years back done by the phorensic science
labs in the west midlands. One of the tricks apparently people used was
to put white text on a white background, apparently they caught a
criminal that way, as he had put notes on Word documents which were
business letters explaining the details of the specific crime! The
blank pages in the middle of documents was the main giveaway, however!
Hope this helps.
Andrew.
