You're right.<br>
<br>
Until the real reason is found (differing opinions on what level of
html-complexity is allowed between Apple and the rest of the world?), I have
decided to switch back to plain-text format. This enables me to read the
messages of the last few days fairly well. Much better anyway, than weeks and
months ago. One drawback is that sometimes quoting gets lost...those messages
remain hard to read...alas.<br>
<br>
That's why I also advocate Joachim's suggestion.<br>
<br>
Under Apple, one can do this manually (message by message...plus, the changes
don't "stick"). Depending on how much html-mail you're getting it's
worth to consider switching to plain text by default...this can be achieved if
you type:<br>
<br>
defaults write com.apple.mail PreferPlainText -bool TRUE<br>
<br>
in the terminal.<br>
<br>
If you then get html-mail, you can still view it in Rich Text format, hitting
Alt-Command-]<br>
<br>

Do you mean his suggestion to go back to plain text?<br>
<br>
If so, this would, of course, take us back years and would deprive us of many
useful text-formatting tools.<br>
