Re: [APML] How do I get rid of the attachment symbol?
Hi Bill, Bob, and Alan:
I've been looking at Outlook (for comparison with Outlook Express) and they
seem to be quite different. I my version of Outlook, there is a page under
Tools/Options. Near the top of that page is a drop down option window called
"Compose in this message format." I think you can specify Plain text as one
of the choices. Maybe that would make it the default.
Good luck!
