Thanks for the reply, Thomas.  The first time I realised that sending html 
mail was actually possible was when I had a message bounce from the opensuse 
list, due to html.  That would be the first release that had html composing.  
Since then I must have turned it off in Options about 5 or 6 times.  It's not 
that that's a big deal, but what is, is that you don't know you've done it 
until it's too late.  Yes, I know a whole new toolbar appears, but I always 
get on with the reply and never notice it.  My fault, that part - blind as a 
bat ;-)

IOW, I'm so thankful that something has been done to stop the problem in the 
future.  Thanks

Anne
