Q: How do I send an email in 'Plain Text' format?

A:
Sometimes you may feel that it is more appropriate to send an email with no background and no special text formatting.

IncrediMail enables you to either send an email with no background, or send an email using 'Plain Text' format, which disables all the font formatting options.

No Background

Using the 'No Background option, you can send your email with a plain background and still be able to add IncrediMail sounds, animations and your hand-written signatures. To use the 'No Background feature, please do the following:
  1. In the IncrediMail main window, click 'New Mail'.

  2. At this point, a 'New Message' window opens. Select the 'No Background option (marked in red) from the Style Box.

  3. You can now send your email with a plain white background, yet still add IncrediMail Animations or Sounds, and format your text's style, size, color, etc.

Plain Text

When using 'Plain Text; format, all HTML formatting is replaced with Plain Text ASCII format.This means that you cannot format your text's style, size, or color and you cannot add IncrediMail Animations or Sounds. To set the 'Plain Text' format as default for all your outgoing email, follow these steps:
  1. In the IncrediMail main window, select the 'Tools' menu (marked in red) and select 'Options...' (marked in blue).

  2. At this point, the 'Options' dialog opens. Select the 'Advanced' tab, check the 'Enable 'Plain Text' in Style Box' (marked in red) checkbox and click 'OK' to close the 'Options' dialog.

  3. In the IncrediMail main window, click 'New Mail'

  4. At this point, the 'New Message' window opens. Select the 'Plain Text' option (marked in red) from the Style Box

  5. Note: When using the 'Plain Text' format, it is not possible to format your text or add IncrediMail Animations and Sounds.
