Hi there,

I am using exclusively HTML format for emails, sometimes plain text when I
reply.

I just realized that when I reply to an email that arrived in my inbox as
Outlook Richtext format, my reply is as well in Richtext format. I often use
screeshots in my messages. Those are JPG files which have a decent size.
Now, if I paste a 200kb JPG file into an HTML message, the message size
blows up to about 400k. I would have expected less size for the email, but
that's absolutely acceptable if I compare the same with Richtext.

If I paste the same picture to a Richtext format email, it blows up to an
incredible 4MB !!!!

So, either I have very strange Richtext settings (which I could not find) or
der is something else wrong..

However, as I am using HTML, my question is actually simple. How can I make
sure that outgoing mail from me is always HTML, even if I reply to a
Richtext message?

Thanks

Dan
