INTRODUCTIONYou can change the appearance of a message much like you format text in a word-processing document. For example, you can change the message's font, indent text, and more. You might make these changes to important messages, such as an e-mail newsletter. |
CAUTIONDon't Format Too Much! Although you can make formatting changes to a message, you should do so sparingly. First, too much formatting increases the size of the e-mail message and, as a result, the length of time it takes the message's recipient to download it. Second, your reader may not be able to view all the formatting. Third, e-mail is designed to be quick; you don't want to waste a lot of time formatting a message that will be quickly read and discarded. Finally, busy formatting can overwhelm the message. |
