To Use HTML
Formatting In Outlook Express 6.0

support HTML can read the formatting. If the recipient's e-mail or news reading
program cannot read HTML, the message is displayed as plain text with an HTML
file attached.
To format all outgoing
messages using HTML:
1. In the main window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Send
tab.
2. In the Mail Sending Format or News Sending Format sections, click HTML.
To format an individual message using HTML:
- In the e-mail message window, make sure HTML formatting is turned on by
clicking the Format menu. If HTML formatting is turned on, a black dot appears
beside the item called Rich Text (HTML).

next to Source Edit. Then, select the Source tab and start editing.
- To set up Outlook Express so that your message replies are sent in a format
that the originator's e-mail or news reading program can read, in the main
window, on the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Send tab. Select
the Reply to messages using the format in which they were sent check box. TOP
