No S**T Sherlock!

I don't want it set to TEXT. Over 90% of the e-mail I receive is in HTML
format. Over 90% or the people I send e-mail to prefer HTML format. Some
people want e-mail sent as a WPRD DOC as a file attachment.

I had no idea that people in this list preferred text format. There was
nothing stating this when I joined it. Maybe you should contact the person
running this list and complain to them about not telling people to use text
only format for this list.

I changed it in the adress book for this list so that anything I write to
this address will now be in text format. Maybe you would like me to set it
to text for everything then have to re-select HTML for over 90% of the
messages I send. This list is not the only thing I use e-mail for. I am not
about to change my setup just to suit you. GET A LIFE. RTFM!

Actually you can set the default when it is installed. I chose HTML because
that is what I use over 90% of the time! GET A LIFE! RTFM!
