Thanks for your help,

I must have vegged out on that one. I should have known better.

Is it better to use HTML or Rich Text format when sending mail?
I send to both corporate users and home users.

If the person recieving the RTF or HTML mail isn't set up to recieve such mail (special fonts, colors etc) it will default to text, correct?

Thanks once again for help!

If you are sending e-mail within your Exchange-based organization and if
company policy requires all employees to use Outlook then you can use RTF.
However, it is best to configure your e-mail client to reply using the same
format as the sender to be polite.

When sending e-mail outside an Exchange-based organization, like the
Internet, it is best to use HTML for text-only format. HTML formatted
messages should be readable by almost all e-mail client, except for those
still using text-only clients on Unix. Also, recipients can always
configure their e-mail client to force an e-mail to read as text even if
sent as HTML. So pick HTML as the default e-mail format when sending new
e-mails.

(I've been out of the loop for awhile building a new computer so I don't
know to what thread you were responding. But the advice here is generic and
should apply.)
