Tom,
OK, that clarifies one aspect of the situation.
From my point of view, if my correspondents are going to send me HTML
formatted e-mails, I shouldn't need to worry too much if I reply in
HTML. Of course, that doesn't cover the e-mails that I initiate....
In Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings, under Composition & Addressing, I
have the Compose Messages in HTML Format checked. In addition, I find
that my Composer window is set to "Auto-Detect" (other choices being
Plain Text Only, Rich Text (HTML) Only, and Plain and Rich Text (HTML)
). I wonder if that means that when I reply to an e-mail that came in
HTML, I also use HTML, and if it was plain text, I reply in kind?
I guess if I'm rash enough to try to reply to questions on SCOUG-Help,
I'll end up learning a lot, even if I don't help anyone very much!
By the way, does anyone know how I get my newly installed Firefox and
Thunderbird to create desktop icons? (I grabbed the .ZIP versions.)
I'm sure I could fool around and create my own, using SeaMonkey as a
base, but isn't there some simple step?
