What's up with these two computers!

“It's the weirdest thing. On my computer at work I don't have any problems with email at all, however when I send Father G a email at the house he receives it but if he trys to reply all I get back is my original message without his response. He does not have any problems with his email to anyone/where except to my computer. They used to play nice together now if he wants to send me a message he has to create a new email and that works fine.

What the*&%&”

“Sounds like one of you has your emailer set to reply in HTML format. Switch to plain text and see if that helps.”

Say What?”

“Is there a blond at one end? ;-)
Just picking! Just picking!”

“Is there a blond at one end? ;-)

When it comes to computers, might as well be!!”

“Somewhere in the preferences for Outlook Express (I assume you're using Outlook Express for your email) you can set the message format of your email. I prefer plain text as opposed to HTML, because not every reader is HTML-compatible, although most are. This is a common problem when sending email to a computer that has older software loaded on it. It will see the HTML as an attachment instead of the text of the email.

I haven't got Outlook Express in front of me, so I can't look it up for you right now. But do a little poking around in your preferences at home, you might find what I'm talking about.”

“Thanks, Bit”

“I found it and changed mine to plain text now I will see if Father G can reply to me.”

“Hopefully that will do the trick, Mother G...”

“But wait, he went to the grocery store, so you might be waiting a while.”

“A potential broken marriage saved by bitpusher.”

“I'm multi-talented...”

“Nah, I haven't left yet...”

“Well reply to my email and see if it works!!!”

“I did!!!”

“It worked now we can end the frustration of it's your computer no, its your computer. It was the html thingie.

Thanks Bit”

“You're welcome!

Another marriage saved!”

“It was YOUR computer....;-)”

“Father Goose starts days and our computers now like each other what more can you ask for on a rainy Monday?

Well, except for a jug of margaritas!”

“Let's get with those marguaritas, bit!”

“"Well, except for a jug of margaritas!"

“Bring the margs with ya.”

“Will you wear your sombrero and nothing else?

“Oh jeeze...”
