Formatting Text

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)

You can use standard text-editing options to format the text of your outgoing messages, your text files, and your signatures. The formatting is delivered to your recipients using text-editing standards in common use today. In Eudora, styled and plain text formatting is delivered to your recipients using the Hypertext Markup Language format, HTML. This enables you to compose and send messages styled with different fonts, colors, font sizes, etc. However, the formatting your recipients see depend on how well their email packages support this standard.

HTML is the text formatting standard used in the World Wide Web by Web browsers and newer email applications. As well as allowing you to use enriched text, HTML also lets you embed pictures and create bullet lists in the messages you send.

It’s important to remember that you cannot completely control what happens on your recipients’ computers. Depending on the type of computers they are using, their installed fonts, their options or preferences, etc., they could end up viewing something other than what you had intended. Also, the formatting changes you make are sent to your recipient, but your default text settings are not. Any text that you did not make changes to appears using your recipient’s default text settings, which may be different from yours.

In Eudora, you can select preferences for sending text in your messages as follows.

1From the Tools menu, choose Options.

2Scroll through the category list and select Styled Text.

3In the Styled Text options window, you can select whether you want Eudora to send your messages with both plain and styled text, with styled text only, or with plain text only. Also, you can set a warning each time you send a message with styled text.

However, the default is to send both styled and plain text. For details, see “Styled Text” on page 213.

Text in outgoing messages, text files, and signature files can be formatted using the commands on the Edit menu, the Text submenu, and the formatting toolbar. See the “Text Toolbar” section above for information on using the formatting part of the toolbar. The following Text submenu commands are described.
