Plain text

[Jay]

I have my Usenet post option (OE) set to plain text.
If I paste something to a Usenet post from a web page it will retain the web
formatting e.g bold/font face etc.
Now this isn't plain text is it?
I go to the tool bar and choose format-rich text and then again format-plain
text.
Now it's back as plain text.
Any abilities to make OE treat a paste as plain text e.g. a 'Paste Special'?

I meant to ask....
Even though my email being composed shows the pasted text as
RTF/HTML/Whatever... will it revert to plain text when being sent - to save
me forcing plain text prior to sending

Yes, it will convert it to plain text when you post/send it. Just ignore
what it looks like in the window before you send it.

Awesome, many thanks.
Now I don't have to be paranoid about sending rtf/html emails to Usenet
