Outlook 2002 plain text only please

[Robert Blackwell]

I want to send only plain text e-mails.

So far, when I make a new e-mail it's fine, and per option, I include my sig
which is in plain black text.

However, when I reply to e-mails I can start typing at the very top of the
document, and it is in "plain text" arial or whatever, but it's in blue
(which is fine) but my signature is in like, (blue) times or something., and
if I type after the sig, it's in (black) times. How can I get it so when I
reply, my sig is in plain text like it is when I create e-mails?

I don't mind the blue text on replies but if that's part of the problem I'll
be happy to get rid of it.

Thanks

If you are seeing blue text you are not composing in Plain Text. Use
Format-> Plain Text to convert to Plain Text

Okay, so where exactly do I find that option?

Go to TOOLS-->OPTIONS-->MAIL FORMAT and use the pull down box to set the
mail to the format that you want.

This is how I already have it setup, even under the internet format button,
it is set to convert to plain text.


Roady, your first post wasn't clearThis doesn't say where the options are found.
Neither is your second post. I don't see a "message" menu, tab or button
anywhere

I didn't say there was a message menu; use the Format menu.

You're about as helpful as a bee sting randy.

the only format menu I see is in the actual message window and there isnt' a
message option in the menu. The most relevant thing I could find under
format was Styles and Formatting.

If I change the styles and formatting from here, is it going to be global or
just for this message?
