I am tired of squinting at itty bitty fonts that are rendered by Thunderbird whenever it displays html email. (List denizens, please note: html mail gets an instant delete here; you will receive no help from me.) Does anybody know how to make Thunderbird display only the text/plain portion of multipart email? I've set up a filter to delete email with the header "Content-Type: text/html" but that only catches some of it. A hearty toast to whomever can solve this one. Maybe: view -> message body as -> plain textAnd that bad news for us is those clueless people are developers that develop email programs and really don't have a clue what they are doing, but certainly think they do.RogerRoger are you aware that your email is composed in rich text formating? Which is as annoying as html. ;-)Sorry about that.I used Google's webmail interface for that message, and I checked I cannot see any option in the "settings" to do it any other way (at least all of the time), it kind of looks like you need to hit plain text on a given reply email, and it kind of looks like once you hit plain text (or rich formatting) on any one message it stays that way for all later reply (not exactly how one would have expected the interface to act-or where one would have expected the option to be, and it should still be in settings as that is were it actually belongs for a what appears to be a permanent setting).This one should not be RTF or HTML, I sent it from thunderbird and I am 99% sure it is setup to only send plain text.Roger
You did see the ;-) in there correct?Gmail defaults the same way. It is the 'hard line' Linux zealots can be upset. Most of us just move on.
You mentioned Yahoo and Thunderbird. There is (was) a TB extension that would pop yahoo mail without paying the 'bucks' for the pop service.
If you would like a Gmail account just ask. I can 'invite you' to join. -- David
