Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Any thoughts on the new formatting in the emails, as a result of eliminating attachments???? PLEASE SEND ME YOUR FEEDBACK. Overall, I like the easier readability of the messages. Most of the links still seem to come through, but not all of them. I miss the colors. I find I can no longer use color to highlight important parts of a message. Also, I miss the colors that others use. I suspect that the use of bold or italics has also disappeared. I haven't experimented with different type fonts and sizes. What have YOU noticed? Zoe >> I've written to the moderators of the Natural Thyroid Hormone group to ask about their email settings. They say that they have it set to no attachments, and the links come through fine. I am going to set the group to " no attachments " for a one-day experiment. If we like it, we can keep it that way. Otherwise, we can revert to the way it is now. Let me know what you think. Zoe Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Personally I don't like the plain text. As you said it makes it harder to show references, etc through bolding and colors. I always appreciated that this group had that formatting as a Thyroid group I am on does not and it is frustrating when wanting to copy/paste things I find that have HTML in them. JMHO but I don't like this. B. My Ebay Auctions: http://tinyurl.com/o9nqv MY SOY CANDLE STORE IS OPEN!

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I greatly prefer this format, I think it is much easier to read. I don't care about a change of color to highlight messages, it is still easiest to read black on white. Thanks for changing it, I hope we can keep it like this.

I like the cange A LOT!!! Looking at posts via web-based Gmail, I used to keep getting messages about attachments. Some may like the color highlighting, but I found it distracting. The colored backgrounds and " stationary " never showed up in Gmail, but I kep being given the option to D/L the attachments, which were the background images. Posts are now more compact. I save ALL my messages which are not SPAM. I really appreciate plain text e-mail because it takes up less of my disk space. Alobar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 I am also discovering that I cannot change the font size any more. I used to be able to decrease the length of a URL by decreasing the font size. That enabled it to be on one line, and thus clickable. Now, the larger print size causes the URLs to be longer, and therefore broken. Zoe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
