How do I send email in plain text rather than HTML in my email client?
Opera Mail
- By default, while Opera can handle and does display HTML in emails, all emails sent using Opera default to plain text.
Thunderbird
- Per Message Shift-clicking the Write, Reply or Reply All button opens the message editor window using the opposite of the current setting, i.e. HTML if set to plain text, and vice versa.
- Go to Tools -> Account Settings, and under your account choose Composition and Addressing. Uncheck Compose messages in HTML format.
Repeat for all accounts you have, then click OK.
Windows Live Mail
- Go to Tools > Options and click on the Send tab. Under the Mail Sending Format section, select Plain Text. Click OK.
Outlook
For Outlook, you can set to have all new emails be written by default in plain text format, or just that one email.
- To have all new emails be sent in plain text format: go to Tools > Options > Mail Format tab, and check the option that says “Create all new email messages in plain text format”.
- To write a new email message or reply to one using the plain text format:
If you use MS Word as your editor when writing emails (you will see this if you have the buttons for Bold/Italic/Underlined text in a bar above the message field), look for the drop down that has HTML/Rich Text/Plain Text as choices. Select “Plain Text,” and if you get a message saying choosing it will make the email lose all its current formatting, click Yes.
If you’re not using MS Word as your editor, click on Format, where you can choose between Plain Text and either Rich Text or HTML (this is usually determined by what is set by default – see my answer above).
Evolution
- Evolution has an option to select plain text or HTML on each email, as shown in the new mail message window in the Evolution user guide. There is also a configuration option (under Edit -> Prefences -> Composer Preferences) to set the default format to HTML. The same location has a setting for default character set.
Mac OS X Mail
To change every mail to plain text,
- Open Mail.
- Go to Mail > Preferences…
- Click on the Composing tab.
- Modify the Message Format drop-down box. Choices are Rich Text and Plain Text.
To change a single message to plain text:
- Choose from the Format menu, Make Plain text
This works for Mail version 2.1.3 (753.1) on OS X 10.4 (Tiger), and probably most other versions of Mail.
