[Heather] We get so many people who send us perfectly good questions, in
HTML, which drives some of our mailers crazy. It's not surprising that
someone with a crippled Linux box would reach for a nearby Windows system
to send the mail. So, here's some help for you. Utterly self serving,
to help <EM>us</EM> get plaintext

Hey Heather,
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
I glanced at the March 2001 Linux Gazette and noticed your (subtle)
request for the steps needed to set up my Outlook Express mailer to send
clear text. I read in a textbook (circuits) that a promise made is a debt
unpaid. I will recoin the phrase to "A request made is a response
unpaid". Therefore, I will post you a response which attempts to provide
a coherent step of steps to achieve our goal.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
I actually executed these
steps while typing the steps into a text file using vi for DOS. I use my
Microsoft machine when I email late nights. I hope that this is coherent!
Anybody can sanity check me, of course (that's what teams do -- review
each other's work).
Here are the steps.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<h4>
Steps for Setting Up Microsoft Outlook Express 5 for Sending of Clear Text
</h4>
<ol>
<li> Start up Microsoft Outlook Express.
<li> From the "Tools" menu, select "Options".
<li> An Options dialog box will pop up.
<li> On the Options dialog box, select the "Send" tab.
<li> Under the "Mail Sending Format" section of the dialog box, select
the "Plain Text" radio button.
<li> Press the "Plain Text Settings" button.
<li> A Plain Text Settings dialog box will appear.
<li> For message format, I select the "MIME" radio button.
<li> Check the "Indent the original text with" check box. This will cause
any included original message to be indented and preceeded with a ">"
sign.
<li>. Select "Automatically wrap text at" with 74 characters. (Ben Okopnik's
suggestion to me).
<li>. Press the OK button of the Plain Text Settings dialog box.
<li>. I make sure that the "Reply to messages using the format in which they
were sent" check box is unchecked.
<li> Press the OK button of the Options dialog box.
</ol>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
You're all set!
<br>-------------------- End of Instructions ----------------------
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
The line lengths of the steps look short because I typed those steps into
a text file, using vi, and I always keep
lines less than 80 characters. I'm from the old days of using terminals
(not ASR-33 teletypes although once
I had a General Electric Terminet 300 TTY for a printer), so I avoid line
wrap.
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
Thank you and Ben for the encourgement that you give. I'm
still a cross between a soon to be Linux hacker and an embedded software
hacker (they call me an engineer, but, I think that is questionable).
</BLOCKQUOTE>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
You are a kick-a## teem! Keep up the good work!
<br>Chris G.
