Thunderbird Tip: Sending both HTML and Text
There are 3 ways to send email:
- As text (simple like a typewriter)
- As HTML (can be formatted to look very nice)
- Both
Recently some clients have complained to me that they don't like being asked all the time how to send. I recommend sending your email as both text and HTML all the time and not to have the program ask. This way, if people have their email program set to text only, they'll see the text version, otherwise, they'll see the pretty version.
To accomplish this in Thunderbird:
1. pull down the Tools menu and select Options
2. Select the Composition tab
3. Select General tab from inside the composition tab
4. Select the Send Options Button.
5. Pull down menu and select Send the message in both Text and HTML
