Typical Microsoft. I use Outlook at work, but Netscape at home - it's great for virus protection after all because 9/10 virii are written to take advantage of Microsoft vulnerabilities. Outlook is primarily designed as a corporate e-mail system. Tris, you can set up a feature in Yahoo to convert all HTML to plain - can you turn it on? It also prevents the really irritating picture adverts at the bottom of HTML e-mails. For everyone else: when someone submits a mail in HTML and you reply to it, please delete the footer of the original mail Cheers Martin Chris Parnham wrote: > I?ve just done that, it says we are already in plain text? >
