Seems we go through this mystery over n'over..... Anyone with MS Outlook may have default Ivy "Stationary". Stationery: A pop down menu next to the Compose Message button includes several choices of stationery.(i.e. Ivy) It puts pictures behind your message like a web page. It is only viewable by POP e-mail programs such as Outlook Express, and Netscape Messenger. It also increases the size of your e-mail message. Text based e-mail programs will see the text of the message and then have an attachment added for the formatting that will not be meaningful to them. Go to Tools, Options, Compose, Stationary and select None. Go to Tools, Options, Mail Format, and select Plain Text. Go to Tools, Options, and look for "When replying to Messages". The default is to accept Senders Format or something like that. If you don't uncheck this box then you will inadvertantly default to the same format as the original sender. If they had Ivy Stationary, then suddenly you are sending Ivy Stationary. If they send in Rich Text Format or HTML then you may also etc. Why do I use a non Microsoft E-Mail client?? (cuz it just works?) All the best ............. murray [log in to unmask]
