[Cz-L] RE: Some help for Posting to the Czernowitz group in Plain Text- from MS OUTLOOK

Bruce and all: I note that Jerome's detailed instructions on posting in
Plain Text don't cover OUTLOOK, which a lot of people use to access email.
Of course you can find them through the links there or through the HELP
function, but many of us evidently haven't. Below are the instructions,
which I hope will help some more of us lessen Bruce's load.

To Change the format for all messages sent to a particular Internet
recipient in MS Outlook:

1. Open the contact card in your "Contacts" for the Czernowitz group.
2. In the E-mail box, double-click the contact's e-mail address.
3. In the Internet Format list, select "Send Plain Text Only" as the format
you want to use for messages to this recipient.
4. Save and close the revised contact

That's OK, Alison. Thanks for the help on this. With the volume of
posts lately, it's been time-consuming to change about half of them
to Plain Text. So every little bit helps.

Thank you!

Bruce
