This is contrary to my experience. If I send a test message to myself in rich text mode, Gmail's webmail composer remembers that setting the next time I reply (i.e., the reply uses styled block quoting, practically destined to be mangled as messages are quoted multiple times through incompatible clients). This setting is apparently stored in one's account and remembered across sessions. I can log out, remove all Google cookies, and the choice of rich text persists in a new session. But outside of a test message, I never use rich text. When I reply it's always in plain text mode; the format of the original message doesn't matter. Maybe it's more complicated than this, but I can only speak from experience. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
