Mozilla/Thunderbird will 'interpret' plain-text messages, so for example |
| 9 |
when you see this in Thunderbird, you will see that /this is italic/, |
| 10 |
*this is bold*, and _this is underlined_. No HTML coding necessary. It |
| 11 |
will also convert '>' at the beginning of the line to the vertical lines |
| 12 |
that you see, and convert known smiley sequences to icons. It will also |
| 13 |
highlight links for you, and re-justify paragraphs, and probably a dozen |
| 14 |
or so other things... |
| 15 |

| 16 |
So it is normal that you would not notice any significant difference |
| 17 |
between plain-text and (simple) HTML-formatted messages in the normal |
| 18 |
view. But you can see the differences with "View->Message Source". You |
| 19 |
might want to do this with some messages that you post, just to get an |
| 20 |
idea of how they really look in plain text. |
