 | Option | Description |
| Plain Text only | Choose plain text when you want recipients with Internet-style addresses to receive plain text. This is the safest option to make when you are unsure if your recipient's mail program can read HTML formatted messages or Rich Text Format messages. |
| HTML only | When you want recipients with Internet-style addresses to receive HTML formatted text and graphics. Note that Notes Rich Text would need to be converted to MIME when sent over SMTP and this conversion causes a loss of fidelity if your default mail form is set to Rich Text Format. Recipients will receive HTML e-mail if they can read it. If their e-mail program does not support MIME, then they will receive a plain text message. |
| HTML and Plain Text | When some recipients of your mail have e-mail programs that support MIME, they will receive HTML formatted mail. If some recipients have e-mail programs that don't support MIME, they will receive plain text. This option is the most versatile. |
| Prompt when sending | When you want Notes to prompt you to specify a format each time you send an Internet mail message. |
