OK - not sure if this message will get sent properly - or if it will instead be coded in Alien Speak again.
I find it odd that the 1st couple of my messages to this forum - via my work email - were just Fine. Then, suddenly - it's all coming across as Alien Speak. I think it has to do with me switching to the newer Outlook version - which I think occurred on this past Fri.
As such, I'm trying to figure out what settings in Outlook I should change - in order to rectumfy the problem.
For this particular message - I did try - by making sure this was a pure Text message with no formatting. But, that setting was done specifically for this email. I figured there Must be some kind of Global setting I need to make, so all emails to ProFox list going out San Alien Speak...

Assuming you are using the Windows desktop version of Lookout, pop out your reply, go the Format Text menu, and select As Plain Text before you send. (Sounds like that's what you did.)
There used to be some buried setting where you could set the default format but it's been so long I don't recall if that's in the Contact or app settings or ... 😊

Yeah RK - that was essentially what I did - on sending this original posting. I switched it to Plain Text. And, now - I just switched Outlook to reply to ALL emails as plain Txt. If I find I have an email that really is NOT viable with just plain text - I will then switch it back to HTML for that particular email reply.
