Think about it. The symbol "c/o" is not a plain text character. It should not matter what program you are using as an editor, everything in a plain Text email must be a plain Text character that can be typed from the keyboard.

Maybe someone else knows. I haven't seen any real "wrinkles" it causes, but Word just seems like overkill to me when it comes to email, so I never used it before, but now I seem to be stuck with it.

I did not know that O2007 always used Word. Does it use Word even for plain text email? Does that create any wrinkles? James S.
