Don’t get stuck with plain text—pick the email reply format of your choice (2003/2007)

When you receive a plain-text email, you probably just hit reply and send a plain-text reply. But, you don’t have to stick to the simple formatting if you usually use rich text or HTML. Simply select a different format option from the Message Format dropdown list on the main menu of the email. Keep in mind, though, that your recipient may not be able to see all the extra formatting if he can’t view rich text or HTML mail.
