[Tutor] Please use plain text.

[Mark Tolonen]

Signature.htmlI normally reply in whatever the original poster uses, because 
when I convert HTML to plain text it removes all the attribution 
indentation, making it difficult to tell who wrote what (see below...I 
converted this post back to plain text).  HTML is generally painful to read 
unless your editor completely supports editing in it (mine doesn't), so I 
second the motion to post only plain text.

That's strange--tiny image below. I use SeaMonkey, and it seems to be almost 
identical to Tbird. I tend to use html for my signature. I'm not sure what 
someone did to produce the tiny print below. Ah, I see, they apparently 
grabbed the image, and inserted it. When I grab images with SnagIt, I have 
the text size set to something much more reasonable than I see here. Maybe 
someone has exceptionally good eyes.

Occasionally, when I print, e-mail, not my own, I get tiny letters. That's 
solvable (Win XP) by pumping up the size in Print Preview. I still find it 
odd, and it seems to happen randomly.

I use Thunderbird. It is not the cause of the problem. It renders emails 
exactly as formatted by the sender.
