| I normally work in Rich Text(HTML) mode, and I use some background
| stationery, and an MS font "Comic Sans MS".
|
| I always send and reply in HTML.
|
| Once in a very great while, I'll get a message from someone which shows
| up
| in "Plain Text" mode, and the message is loaded with lots of what looks
| like
| HTML codes, and is a real mess. But this is very rare.
|
| About 6 months ago, one of my friends advised me that he was getting
all
| the
| mail I sent him, in that "messed up" mode. But all his other e-mails
were
| coming in fine. I checked over my system, and sent several test message
| to
| myself and others, but they all were fine. Suddenly after a few weeks
of
| this, everything returned to normal at his end - my end was normal for
| receiving and sending, all through this. And things have stayed normal
| since
| then.
|
| I didn't make any changes to my system or settings during all this
| period,
| as I couldn't find anything wrong anywhere.
|
| Today, a different one of my very computer savvy friends reported the
| same
| situation. My HTML messages to him were coming through in plain text,
and
| had the tons of HTML garbage coding visible in the text. He also always
| works in HTML mode.
|
| He clicked on "reply", and the window that came up was in plain text.
| When
| he tried to switch to HTML mode, it refused to do so.
|
| So I went to another one of my machines, generated a similar HTML
| message,
| with a jpg image in it, and sent it to him, and a copy to myself. This
| time,
| his copy and my copy both arrived fine - HTML all the way.
|
| I'm at a loss to understand what is happening, and what the fix might
be.
| Right now, his machine is the only machine I've sent to which shows
this
| problem. But when I sent to him from a different machine - all was
well.
| So
| obviously, there must be some setting on my main machine that's related
| to
| the problem - but it isn't a problem for anyone else I send to.
|
| Does anyone have any ideas -
