I recently changed my mail preferences from HTML to Text, and now I can¹t
get it to switch back. It is set to HTML in Preferences, but all mail still
comes through in Text Format. I have tried trashing prefs, and restarting,
with no luck.

????

The mail preference is for new messages created in Entourage. If someone
sends you a plain text message, Entourage can¹t display it in the
non-existent HTML!

Let me clarify... Email that I used to receive in HTML format, such as
newsletters, and ebay messages, etc, now read in text format. This only
started happening after I changed the prefs to Text. Is there any other
setting that could have been changed by accident?

I just figured it out...

I was getting the HTML, but ³Display complex HTML² was clicked off in the
security pane.

Thanks anyways.
