I think I am at last getting the hang of it ... maybe. If you use a browser to read and write email, which a lot of people do, then you have an option for every message whether to compose using a full palette of styles, a dialogue box about whether to send as plain text and/or HTML and an option whether to display in plain text (which means the asterisks etc and no colour) or see the full palette of style. I had never used these option before, but they are there. Andy Colette Murphy wrote: All work well!

I use a Macbook with the Apple Mail program. I can send and receive this formatting when e-mail programs are compatible.

And can anyone tell me that they could see the red text in the comments Mike added to a message yesterday? Please don't bother answering if someone else has already given the same answer as you would give.
