Mac Forum / Applications / Eudora / March 2004styled text question
When I compose a message that include bold or italic words, these styles never get sent as they are written. Is there a way to set preferences so it works? Why even include these options if they do not work?

Sounds like you have not got the right setting selected in Styled Text (Special/Settings/Styled Text)> Make sure that you have the option ticked to send as both. (Though now that I think of it, weren't underlining and italics always acceptable in Plain Text? Suddenly I can't remember for sure, but if you have the Styled text option on, surely it will invoke that formatting.) Rifty SignatureAcademic and Computing Help rifty.net > Sounds like you have not got the right setting selected in Styled Text > (Special/Settings/Styled Text)> I already have checked the 'send styled text' button, and have also tried the 'both' option (ie. both styled and plain). The text does show as bold or italicized when I type it, but it does not get received that way on the other end. I have tried sending messages to myself on various email readers but I never see these styles showing when received. thanks Ken SignatureFor email response, please remove ***NOSPAM*** from address In article <krstone-E55CD9.08500027022004@newsclstr01.news.prodigy.com>, > The text does show as bold or italicized when I type it, but it does not > get received that way on the other end.

Curious, as it works fine for me. Styled text gets put into the message as 'tags' that you can see if you click on the "blah" button. For example <x-html><!x-stuff-for-pete base="" src="" id="0" charset=""><!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <html><head><style type="text/css"><!-- blockquote, dl, ul, ol, li { padding-top: 0 ; padding-bottom: 0 } --></style><title>test styles</title></head><body> <div><br></div> <div>This is<b> bold face</b> and<i> itallic</i></div> SignatureJim Meiss <http://amath.colorado.edu/faculty/jdm> > (Though now that I think of it, weren't > underlining and italics always acceptable in Plain Text? No, plain text is plain--no Italics, no bold, no underline, no specified font size or color.

True - I was thinking of the VERY early versions of Eudora where there was no option to style text - they threw in bolding and underlining, if you wanted to use it, as the only concession to styled text. Version 3?

Version 3? Ah, before my time on the Internet. I had a copy of 1.5x which I used very briefly, then downloaded a copy of 3.? Light. I don't believe it had any text styling options. Version 3 Pro probably did have them, though, and may well have been the first version that did; I didn't buy the Pro version until 4.something. (I think it was the spell checker of the Pro version that I lusted after.)
