Subject: Re: A modest proposal

(1) Once again, and I wish I could emphasize "again", I am extremely grateful to you.

(2) I have gone to Mozilla/Preferences/Mail & Newsgroup/Send Format and, in fact, there was a place saying:
When you send a message to an address with one of the domain names listed below, Mail automatically sends the message in the correct format.
I entered
mailto:MacOSX-TeX-yNUTs0qEFpZ/1wmUHrjjod3JkUJRut2i@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
which, I hope, should do it.

(2) I am composing my messages in absolutely plain text with the very rare exception of italics. Not html, not mime, no nothing.


If you are using italics it's likely your message is sent in either HTML format (using Mozilla or Thunderbird) or RTF format (using Apple Mail). Plain text means really no formatting at all.

That said I haven't noticed HTML tags in your recent messages (but I haven't watched closely). I think the problem is especially annoying for people receiving the list messages in digest format, or looking at the archives.

(4) I am using Mozilla.
(5) Please someone advise.


In Thunderbird you set up the sending format in two locations:

- On a per account basis. Select an account, go to Edit/Properties and then, for each account, to Composition & Addressing. There, you have a checkbox "Compose messages in HTML format" (checked by default, I think). Uncheck it.

- On a recipient basis. Go to Thunderbird/Preferences/Composition, then go to Send & HTML Options and click the button "Send Options".

In Mozilla the situation is practically the same:

- Identical for the per account setting.

- For the per recipient setting, go to Mozilla/Preferences/Mail & Newsgroup/Send Format.

In Apple Mail go to Mail/Preferences/Composing, there is a scroll-down Format menu with choices "Plain Text" and "Rich Text". Go for Plain.

HTH,
