Plain-Text Version of the ARRL Contest Update

The ARRL Contest Update e-mail is formatted with both HTML (rich text) and plain-text versions. Most e-mail reading programs provide some means of accessing the plain-text version if you want it. Here are some techniques to use:

Outlook Express

  1. From the Inbox view, select the Tools menu and the Options selection.

Click the Read tab Check the Read All Messages In Plain Text box

When you open the e-mail, it will be in plain text without images. Other e-mail programs may be able to make a Mail Rule for email received from the address memberlist@www.arrl.org so that the plain-text-only display is selected automatically.

Outlook 2007

Use the same procedure as for Outlook Express, although the global option is under "Tools/Trust Center/E-mail Security".

OS X Mail (Macintosh)

Use the "View/Message/Plain Text Alternative" menu item.

GMail

Use the "Message text garbled?" link in the drop-down menu at the upper right of the displayed message block.
