Joyce, I have my Outlook Express set to send all messages in plain text. If I choose to use a stationery, that changes the settings automatically. You can test this by changing your settings (OE - Tools - Options and put the dot in the send plain text) and apply and press ok. Then, click on the tab to send new mail and then choose select stationery. This will take you to the choices that came with OE...(and any others you may have added.) Choose one and send yourself an email. I have had mine set this way for years. Then, I do not have to worry about how things will look in groups like this one that only allows plain text and I can use my stationery any time I want to. Hope this helps...

I made all of the changes. One of them was to uncheck " read all messages in plain text" and another was to check HTML in the Mail Sending Format. My question for the group is this: Does this make my messages to you on freelists look different or act different in any way? I do like to use stationery once in a while but sure don't want to mess up the messages that I post here.
