| 154572 | 2003-06-23 22:25:00 | Have just migrated from a long association with Netscape 4.7 to Outlook Express. Have problem when posting smilies :) in email. Prefer to send messages in plain text but every time I try to include "smilie" the whole message changes to RTF. This did not happen before but cannot find anything in Options to stop it. Any help appreciated. | jaybee (1199) | ||
| 154573 | 2003-06-23 22:45:00 | What happens if you press Ctrl-Z to undo the change in OE? Funny thing is, my copy doesn't take any notice, leaves the :) like that and carries on, in both plain text and HTML options. What version of OE is it? Mine is 6. robo. |

| 154574 | 2003-06-23 23:12:00 | OE version is 6. Just getting to grips with changeover from Netsape - some things good, some bad. At what point should I try the control-z ? |

| 154575 | 2003-06-24 01:10:00 | With word and other programs, if the autocorrect action changes your typing to a smiley (or whatever) you press ctrl-z immediately and it undoes the change. Not sure this will be much of a long term solution, but it might help. robo. |

| 154577 | 2003-06-24 02:52:00 | Yes, it's ticked as text only but changes the whole email to RTF as soon as I insert a smiley . Forgot to mention that I actually insert the smiley - (compliments of schmaili prog ) not as a text :-) smiley. However this worked OK in Netscape without the the whole text changing. It also changes if I try to change the colour etc of the black ( default ) font. | jaybee (1199) | ||
| 154578 | 2003-06-24 02:54:00 | That's probably it, because the inserted item is a graphic so it switches to RTF to be able to handle it. Not sure there is anything you can do, short of going back to text smileys. robo. |

Likewise to Robo's comment above, plain text mode simply cannot carry formatting information, which includes a font colour. While you suggest that Netscape did not act in this manner, either it stripped out the formatting when it was sent, or it sent it as HTML. |
