Default I can't send emails to my yahoo groups

Alan did the F10 thing and reformatted the computer (or whatever he did).

Everything was like it was when we brought it home.

Everything works. However I can' use my Outlook Express. I have to use Verizon webmail. Which is fine. I get all my emails.

But in the past (when I used Outlook), all I had to do was hit the reply button and I didn't have to go to the group website to reply to a post.

I just tried and I got a message saying "you cannot send html blah blah, you can only send text messages".

so naturally I simply went to the message board and posted my response.

So my question is "how do I change my stuff to text so I can reply to emails going to a message board, using my verizon webmail".

If anyone knows THIS ANSWER, YOU'RE A BLOOMIN GENIUS.

lol

Melody

I know about Outlook. I don' want to use Outlook. I want to be able to send replies via my Verizon webmail. But I need to change it to text.

(Sorry, I thought I made it clearer).

Thanks much

Melody

Hi Melody, I know nothing about Verison I'm sorry.
However, I wondered if there is a "Tools" then "Options" setting in Verison like there is in some other mail programmes.

I remember that I could do that in Outlook Express ages ago when I used that. It would bring up a window where one could change the Mail Sending Format. That was in Send.

I wonder if you have that option in Verison.

Also might want to check your Internet Options in Control Panel.
Network and Internet Connections.
Internet Options then programs.
"You can specify which program Windows automatically uses for each internet service".

good luck with it.

I'm a bit confused by this part--

[But in the past (when I used Outlook), all I had to do was hit the reply button and I didn't have to go to the group website to reply to a post.

I just tried and I got a message saying "you cannot send html blah blah, you can only send text messages".]


are you saying you can't rely to a message on the Verizon webmail site??
or
you used to be able to reply thru the outlook express??
but can't do it that way now?
