Eleanor, What I should have said too is what mode do you need to be in say in send mode for example in outlook express? I did go send mode to try and achieve and hitting tools options there was nothing there. So in a nutshell where do you need to be in OE to accomplish what I need to do?

There are various tabs across so go to the tab that says Send. In there if you tab around you will come to mail sending options, the first is html and these. You will want to select plain text and then arrow around to Apply. Come out of that Options section and back to your Inbox and send the mail. To make sure you have done it correctly you could always send yourself a test mail. ----- Original Message ----- From: tony sweeney To: the students list Sent: Monday, April 08, 2013 12:42 PM Subject: [vip_students] Sending in Plain Text Hi folk, I wish to post a mail in OE in plain text, how do I so do?
