To use HTML formatting

You can use HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) to format the text in all your messages or use it on selected messages only.

• To use HTML formatting on an individual message, click the Format menu in the new message window, and then click Rich Text (HTML). This affects only the current outgoing message. A black dot appears by the command when it is selected.

• To set all outgoing messages in Outlook Express to use HTML, click the Tools menu in the main window, click Options, click the Send tab, and then click HTML in the Mail sending format and/or News sending format areas.

Note

• When you use HTML formatting, and the recipient's mail or news program does not read HTML, the message appears as plain text with an HTML file attached. The recipient can view the attached file by opening it in any Web browser.
