E-mail Guide
The majority of
people say e-mail is the number one reason they use the internet. So,
we've put together an e-mail guide to help you learn the ropes. Since
there are so many aspects to e-mail, we've put the information into
various sections.
Remove
Carets (>>>) From E-mail
Don't those little
carets ( the ">>>" things) on forwarded & replied
to
e-mails drive you nuts? You can set most e-mail clients NOT to put those
in if you like. This way, at least the mail you forward / reply to will
be
easier to read.
With Outlook Express:
1. Click the Tools
menu, Options
2. Click the Send tab
3. You'll see an area called "Mail sending format". Under
that category,
click the Plain Text Settings or HTML setting and deselect the checkbox
for
indenting messages on reply.
With Netscape Messenger:
1. Click Edit, Preferences
2. Next, under the mail & newsgroups item, select Messages. You'll
see a
drop box labeled "By default forward messages" Select Inline
from the box.
What do you do if someone has sent you a piece of e-mail that is filled
with those carets? Tell them about this tip and clean up the message
with
a free little utility called The Cleaner (not one of mine, but still
good).
To use it, just
copy the area of the e-mail that you would like to be able
to read better and paste it into this program. Hit the "Clean"
button and
that's it. All the carets are removed.
