I am resusing an email to keep a call log. So, I add to the list of the people I call then later I send them an email. So I will copy/paste "send email" that was formatted with strikethrough from previous lines. 1. many times when copying/pasting, code, like < /font> or <font> will appear AFTER I send it 2. since I use strikethrough, somehow nearly half of my call log is formatted with strikethrough only after I send the email, while I'm still composing it, the call log does not appear to be formatted with strikethrough.

I know reforwarding an email, is not the best method to keep track of the calls I've made, etc., but is there any way to not have this happen?

Thanks </font>

Yes, it is possible to turn off the default formatting to be in HTML.
