hello,

running outlook 2003 with sp3 under windows xp.  outlook is setup to
send new email messages using html format which i like.  the issue i
have is that when i reply to a message that uses text format (rather
than html), the reply message also defaults to text.  is there any way
to change this default so that all my messages (both new as well as
replies, including replies to text email messages) go out using html
format?  i understand why outlook is setup this way, but i still want
to change it so all my outgoing email uses html format.

thanks.

There is, manually. But consider this - do you not think that people use
Plain Text for their emails for a reason? Might it be that they don't WANT
HTML replies? Not only is it impolite to change the format of the reply, but
it's actually arrogant as well.

Asking a question?
Please tell us the version of the application you are asking about,
your OS, Service Pack level
and the FULL contents of any error message(s)

Is there something so offensive about HTML that would cause a person
to be taken aback? Yes, html messages are more in byte size, yes they
support graphics which some people don't care for...but don't compare
html messaging to being arrogant as if to say, "haha...i'm going to
change your email format all around just because I can!" Don't akin
changing formatting to plagiarism. Just my two cents
.
