<title>Using HTML format to enhance emails</title>
<p>Normally, you cannot set text styles or insert pictures in email. However, most newer email applications can display images and text styles in addition to basic alignment and paragraph formatting. This is done with HTML, which is the format that also web pages use.</p>
<p>Some people do not have HTML-capable mail clients, or prefer not to receive HTML-enhanced mail because it is slower to download and display. Because of this, <app>Evolution</app> sends plain text unless you explicitly ask for HTML.</p>
<p>You can change the format of an email message from plain text to HTML in the email composer by choosing <guiseq><gui>Format</gui><gui>HTML</gui></guiseq> from the menu bar.</p>
<p>Alternately, you also can change the first dropdown list below the <gui>Subject</gui> line from <gui>Plain Text</gui> to <gui>HTML</gui>.</p>
<p>To send all your mail as HTML by default, enable <guiseq><gui>Edit</gui><gui>Preferences</gui><gui>Composer Preferences</gui><gui>Default Behavior</gui><gui>Format messages in HTML</gui></guiseq>.</p>
