Maybe I'm crazy, but this helps me not at all because I CAN'T FIND
Preferences, so I can't do what you are telling me to do. I've had
another person look at it, and they don't see a Preferences icon
either. Could it be hidden?

I don't know how to state it more clearly:

Under Entourage in the menu bar select Preferences --> Compose. There are
pop-ups to select Mail Format and News Format. Select HTML.


I'm also surprised about what you are telling me about plain text,
because all of my friends & many acquaintances send e-mails with
pretty fonts and colors, and I'm just trying to do what they have --
and I'm sure they are not doing it just for me, because I get their e-
mails that have been sent to different groups of people. Their e-
mails look much better than mine.

As I mentioned use HTML for friends not lists. Many lists do not accept HTML
mail at all. List members come from all over the world. Many places still
charge by the minute to download and not the unlimited accounts like we are
used to in the US.

I despise getting HTML where the sender makes the font so small I can't read
it. Then there are those that make it so big it's hard to read. That's why I
say use plain text in lists like this when possible. If you use HTML in a
list make it simple. Save the fancy stuff for your friends that like it.
That's the beauty of being able to toggle back and forth between plain text
and HTML.
