Members LiveMusic Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 Every email, it asks if I want to send it... -text and html-text only (recommended)-html only It's always on the middle one as default. But if I send it as text only (sending to a yahoo account to test it), the web page links aren't formatted. So, I always click on the first one. I don't know exactly what that means, as when I send one to myself to test it, it just looks like a properly formatted email. But the problem is... I don't want to have to do this every time. So, I find in Options that I can make it Send each time as text and html... but I don't want to burden the recipient in any way. Any worries here? I would think that Text and Html means it will send the body of the email as both. (In the same body.) But it doesn't appear that way when I test one sent to myself at yahoo.

Members Philter Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 You won't bother anyone by sending it as both. Most people's mail programs are HTML-compatible these days, and your emails will be legible to those without as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yermej Posted April 14, 2008 Members Share Posted April 14, 2008 Sending as text & html does send both in the same message, but as a multi-part message. Most mail programs know about this format and display whichever the user has chosen. Even if the program doesn't know about it, it would probably just display the text version and ignore the html. In gmail you can click "show original" in the message menu (click the down arrow next to the reply button in the upper right) to see what is actually sent. You'll see the plain text followed by the html. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Rabid Posted April 15, 2008 Members Share Posted April 15, 2008 There is something about using email provided by a company making money off of serching documents. My trust level is pretty low and my GMail account goes unused. Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bbach Posted April 15, 2008 Members Share Posted April 15, 2008 I use it for my spam diversion. Same here. I have a yahoo address and a gmail addy and rarely give out my isp email address. Live: I'm not having the same problems. No questions for me when I send. I don't know how to fix your problem though so what good am I anyway?
