[lbo-talk] Emailer setting request

[Kelley]

in outlook, go to your address book. click on lbo-talk at lbo-talk.org. in the 
properties for that address, click on the Name tab. At the bottom of the 
Name tab dialog box, check the box "Send Email using plain text only". This 
is *supposed to* ensure that all mail that goes to that address is sent in 
plain text. while it would be great if everyone could use email clients 
that do what they should do with multipart, ain't gonna happen. aside from 
which, the point here is that its excess data spent on worthless HTML 
markup  are a waste. it costs, someone, somewhere, money.

anyhoo, when Justin replies to an e-mail, the reply-to text (the text of 
his correspondent) is indented (doesn't use chevrons >) to indicate that it 
is reply-to text. When Justin replies in-line, his text is also indented 
using HTML mark up.

i opened an old yahoo account to see what the problem was, too. justin's 
mail doesn't look like it's coming from his Outhouse client. usually, 
webmail accounts identify the client in the X-Mailer header. it looks like 
Justin will have to check his settings every time, just to be sure. jeff, 
there's an option at the top left of the compose mail window, IIRC.

'course, you can ditch yahoo and hotmail for webmail providers that are a 
little cleaner. myrealbox.com and softhome.net are two that I've used. 
neither one use ads and they're speedier than yahoo! and hotmail.
