See that HTML? Lose it.
It's quite likely he doesn't know how to... here dw, should you decide
to do the right thing and
get rid of the HTML, these are the instructions to follow:
- Click on the 'Tools' menu a the top of Outlook Express, then select
'Options' from the drop
down list (should be at the bottom).
- The window that pops-up should be titled 'Options', and you should
see a bunch of tabs at the
top, one of which should be labled 'Send'. Click on the 'Send' tab.
- At the bottom of the 'Send' tabs list of settings, there should be 2
sections entitled 'Mail
Sending Format' and 'News Sending Format'. Both should present you
some radio buttons that allow
you to specify wether outgoing messages are sent in HTML or plain
text... just select 'plain
text' for 'News Sending Format' then click 'OK'.
That's it. The reason I suspect Fred is asking you to do this, is that
he using a news reader
that doesn't like HTML formated posts, and he see's what he's replied
to you with... which I'm
sure you agree, isn't pretty.
Perhaps Fred should get a different news reader.
LIKE SHOUTING, IT'S CONSIDERED BAD FORM TO POST HTML IN A NEWSGROUP.
THIS IS BECAUSE MANY
NEWSREADERS DISPLAY THE HTML AS TEXT.

DO YOU RECALL A TIME WHEN FORM HAS BEEN A CONCERN OF MINE?
Or truth, honesty, honour etc..
