My Gmail is set to "default text encoding" (not UTF-8) and I seem to be sending messages in text: Subject: Re: what is "Document Viewer"? From: "Sharpe, Sam J" <sam.sharpe+lists.redhat@xxxxxxxxx> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Your messages are sending in both HTML and text, so technically the receiver can decide which one to view based on their capabilities or preferences (but you're still wasting other people's bandwidth - which is typically what they are objecting to). I had no idea how you set Gmail to do that, but having had a look around, I found this post: http://personalweb.about.com/b/2005/04/04/gmail-lets-you-send-html-email.htm I've never noticed the "Rich formatting" link that appears above my compose box before, but I think that's what you are using - try hitting the "Plain text" link you should have and see if that sticks as a preference (as I can't see anywhere to force it). -- Sam -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
