Yes, I think he's plonked me too. His loss.

Hi Pete,

I believe it is in Edit-Preferences- (the section for composition
probably or look in the Mail/Newsgroup settings)

Honestly, I don't care since I wash all html anyway so I hope no one
is offended by my statements. Telemon seems to have plonked me
though. Hmmm.

Cheers!

Hello Al,

Thank you for your rationally presented points about my using HTML to post. In
that light, I would be happy to try to change my settings. Can anyone tell me
how reset my browser to post in plain text? I use Netscape Navigator 4.7.

You still have not figured out how to post in plain text instead

MOST NEWS READERS DON'T HANDLE HTML.

Please learn to post in plain text. Thanks.

Actually, most newsreaders can handle HTML these days. Unless
you
are still using something ancient like pine and emacs, you have
nothing to worry about. MT-NW 3.4 can certainly handle it. I
know
because I use it on my OS X box also.

True, many can handle it but it is considered poor practice and
highly
discouraged to use HTML in both email and newsgroup postings. Much
spam comes via HTML so at least give those of us who try to fight it
a
sporting chance.

Consequently, I use Gnus/Emacs and it will display HTML but I wash
all
posts anyway. Long Live Gnus!!

Cheers.
