formatting intact, and other messages as plain text. Select Plain Text to display
all messages as plain text, regardless of the format in which they were sent. The
default setting is HTML.
5. Select OK.
The VersaMail application
sends all messages as
plain text only, with all

replying to a message
that was originally received
as HTML.

support retrieval of unread
mail only from the server.
If you have a POP email
account, the VersaMail
application downloads all
messages regardless of
whether you have read
them, and regardless of
whether this box is
checked.
