This is not relevant to vintage computers but it is relevant to people
who, unbeknownst to them, are sending HTML in their e-mail. Hope it helps
someone.

Subject: HTML in email


Anyway, here are some instructions on how to turn off this mis-feature. Telling
senders of HTML messages how to do this will allow them to turn the HTML off.

Removing HTML from Internet Mail and Outlook Express.
=====================================================

Internet Mail
-------------
Go to the Mail menu, select Options.
This brings up a set of tabs. The first tab is marked Send.

Near the bottom of this is a section Mail Sending Format.

There are two bullet holes (radio buttons), set this to Plain Text
instead of HTML.

Outlook Express
---------------
Go to the Tools menu and select Options. click the second tab which is marked
Send. Here you have both mail sending format and news sending format.

For both put the bullet point next to Plain text and not HTML.
