[meteorite-list] Awfully quiet

[Larry Atkins]

Mike, All
I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to compose email in plain text on my latest android phone. From what I can tell, it can't be done. Maybe it's the same for the i phone.


Sincerely,
Larry Atkins

Hi Mike;That's a good question and I have looked into it before. Theredoesn't seem to be a way to adjust the format of outgoing email from an iPhoneor iPad. Most info I have found makes me believe that iOS sends plain text bydefault but I have had problems as well. I think that the final formatting canbe affected by the content (e.g. links) or also by the email provider. Theissue has actually made me consider removing the restriction onhtml.Regards, ArtSent from my iPhone> On Apr 30, 2015, at 11:35 AM,Michael Farmer <mike at meteoriteguy.com> wrote:> > I still don't understand.

Unfortunately for me, I don't seem to get the joy from facebook that themet list of old gave me. I have barely said 2 words on facebook. I really can'tput my finger on what the disconnect is, but it's there. Perhaps it's thesnippets of info instead of more details, maybe it's the hundreds of people thatwant to be my 'friend' that I've never heard of. Maybe I feel like it's going tobe to much of a commitment once I dive in? On top of all this is the privacyissue, real or imagined.>>> >>> The future is knocking and I know it's onlya matter of time before I have to give in to change so as not to go sociallyextinct! >>> >>> >>> Sincerely,>>> Larry Atkins>>> >>> IMCA #1941>>> Ebay alienrockfarm>>> >>> >>> >>> -----OriginalMessage----->>> From: Anne Black via Meteorite-list<meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com>>>> To: graham.ensor<graham.ensor at gmail.com>; majbaermann <majbaermann at web.de>>>> Cc: bernd.pauli<bernd.pauli at paulinet.de>; meteorite-list <meteorite-list at meteoritecentral.com>;msgmeteorites <msgmeteorites at gmail.com>>>> Sent: Thu, Apr 30, 2015 7:15am>>> Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Awfully quiet>>> >>> >>> I certainlyagree with you, David, Matthias.I don't like Facebook and theirprivacy policies,or lack of.
