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 --------------- jbyers: how could you see that I was sending in both HTML and text? I dont see a Content-Type line on my gmail sends is there some configure step i am missing? I have left utf selected but also did switch out of the rtf into text Is this email being received as only text?
