Re: HTML vs. Yahoo or plain text

You're right.

I was afraid of that. I don't have a Yahoo account that I
know of, and 
don't want one. You need one to use the " Reply  (via
web post)" option 
as well. I suspect that would give you better quoting
options, but it 
would also lock you into whatever they have for a mail
editing application.

(I've been on the mail list for so long, I don't remember
how I got 
here. It would have been shortly after the GE bulletin board
thing was 
sold off and abandoned. I believe I was using a black and
white laptop 
and running DOS. I think the registration process went
through SoftLogik 
at the time. In any case, I don't remember needing to get a
username and 
password.)

> ...Since you use Thunderbird, Firefox opens.

Not that it matters, but in my case Netscape 8.1.2 opens.
It's based on 
Firefox but can also switch to an Internet Explorer display
engine and 
frequently works with sites that require IE. I do have
Firefox but I 
rarely use it. Since installing Firefox 2 in the background
I haven't 
opened it at all.

Anyway, my workaround works fine as you can see and doesn't
really add 
any noticeable time to my correspondence, so I'll probably
just keep 
going this way.

I'm happy with what I have at this moment.
With the HTML-Yahoo-mail, my cursor went up and down. I
couldn't tell 
where I was, and what I had already answered.
What I now get is just text e-mail (PageStreamSupport at
Yahoo), and 
HTML if somebody send me HTML.

However there is a link for: 'Forgot your ID or password'
at:
https://login.yahoo.com/config/lo
gin_verify2?.intl=us&.src=ygrp&.done=http%3a//tech.g
roups.yahoo.com%2Fgroup%2FPageStreamSupport%2F

I know Yahoo isn't fast in answering questions (for me:
not). But you can give it a try.

I thought: if someone have Thunderbird he or she surely uses
