Hi Tina,

If you are using Gmail through the web interface, it's a bit clunky. There 
is nothing in the setting which will set the right default from what I can 
tell. Here is what you have to do.

When you create a new message via your browser, GMail puts you into a 
compose window. Just below the text box for the subject, you will see a line 
of formatting options icons. Toward the end of this line of icons, you will 
see "<< Plain Text". Click on that to force your message to be in plain text 
mode.

I haven't found any setting to make this the default... 

Relevant documentation is here 
<http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=8260>

[This is a really poor design choice made by the designers of GMail. Anyone 
from Google on this list? How do I file a bug report against Gmail? Contact 
me offline please. ]

Regards,
Spencer
