[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,

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.

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.

<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>

You're all set!

|
|
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.

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).
