Sending Plain Text E-mail Messages

Google Mail

 

When composing a message, look just below the Subject line and above the message body.

• If you see a link labelled "Rich Formatting >>" then you are composing in plain text, which is good.
  
  
• If you see a formatting toolbar ending with "<< Plain text" then you are composing with formatting turned on, which is bad. Click the "Plain text" link.
