Hi Larry,
Sending emails to MetList by way of iPhone is not a problem, works perfect.

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,

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

actually simple to assure that your posts will show up: don’t use

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

thereare times when I wonder if I will not be obligated to join itjust and
