Unfortunately, Netscape Communicator 4 also comes packaged with mail programs whose default configuration is to send HTML formatted mail.
- Select "Edit" then click on "Preferences..."
- Click on the plus sign "+" before "Mail and Groups & Messages"
- Click on "Messages"
- Uncheck the check box that says "By default, send HTML messages".
- Click on "More Options..."
- In the section "When sending HTML messages to recipients who are not listed as being able to receive HTML", click "Always convert the message into plain text (may lose some formatting)"
- Click on "OK" and on "OK" again.
Netscape Messenger can also be configured to send Address Book Cards (also referred to as vCards) with your e-mail. These are attachments, which show up as strings of unreadable code on most mailing lists. To turn these off:
- Select "Edit" then click on "Preferences..."
- Click on the plus sign "+" before "Mail and Groups & Messages"
- Click on "Identity"
- Uncheck the check box that says "Always send Address Book Cards"
- Click on "OK"
