zodehala.... Ok..... if memory serves me this should do it for you .......
1. Click on "New," and enter the address and subject line.
2. Before composing the message, click on "Tools" .
3. On the drop-down "Tools" menu, the last entry is a toggle switch to
turn the rich-text editor on and off. If you see "Rich-text editor ON"
it means you will be sending the message as plain text (it is giving
you the option to turn it on ). If you see
"Rich-text editor OFF," click on it to toggle it to the off position.
That should do the trick .
