    Force plan text

    AS far as I can tell, you can only force Plain text responses in Outlook 2000 on a message by message basis. When composing the response, pick Format - Plain Text. You will get a helpful warning telling you that you will lose formatting and pictures, then you can proceed, and it will reformat...

    how email works

    E-mail messages collect their time stamps as they travel across the Internet, and have to cater for time zones. Quite often the time zone on the PC which origianted or receives the e-mail is wrong, even though the displayed time is right. First the originating PC puts a time stamp on the...

    Excel - Quotation Marks in Custom Number Formats

    Well done, meintsi. the use of # causes integer rounding, but the trailing two single quotes works at the end of General also, so the format General'' works better

    Outlook 2000 attachments

    I don't think you can do it in one shot. I would create the e-mail, send it to the 2 addressees who don't need the attachment, then retrieve the e-mail item from the &quot;Sent Items&quot; folder, attach the file and send to the other 3.

    Checking mail with Outlook 2000

    Hello again Yes, multiple profiles for same PST I've been testing - I set up a second Internet E-mail service on the profile which I normally use. The first thing to take care of is that the outgoing server should always be the one for the ISP through which you will dial-up, so it must match the...

    Outlook 97/2000 Symbols Issue

    Hello Ray. This problem is a side-effect of the way ASCII character sets are implemented in different systems. British implementations use a code for £ which U.S. systems use for #. As e-mail passes through the networks it can pass through mail servers which perform conversions. So sometimes the...

    Checking mail with Outlook 2000

    I use O2k (in Corporate Workgroup mode), and have tackled this subject a different way. Instead of setting up multiple pairs of settings in one profile, I have set up separate profiles in O2K each with a different SMTP/POP3 pair, even with different connection setting to the different ISPs...

    Can you retrieve email via Outlook when on DSL

    If they are trying to retrieve other (non PacBell) e-mail there shouldn't be a problem, but to send mail they will almost certainly need to send mail through the PacBell SMTP server, not the SMTP server of the other e-mail provider. The other provider will definitely have an anti-spam process...

    Printing from Outlook.

    Well, the best I could achieve was to get the name and subject down to miniscule size, i.e. 1 pt. print. File - Page Setup - Define Print Styles. Copy &quot;Memo Style&quot; and give it a new name. Then in the Format tab, set the Font for each of &quot;Title&quot; and &quot;Fields&quot; to 1...
