I am totally liking the ability to read HTML emails. Now is there a way to compose them?

I think if you know HTML you can... I don't know HTML so I can't even try it...

I think you can. You just need to use the tags.

Tags don't work.

I guess no tags then

Although microsoft claims support for html composing, I am still at a loss as to how this is accomplished as well:

HTML e-mail support is an enhancement to the Messaging Application (Inbox, tmail.exe), that allows end users to receive, view, compose, and send e-mail in HTML format.

Now I know it supports html, if I type a link when composing and sending, it sends as a full html formatted clickable link. But as far as bullets, font color/size, I've been unable to accomplish this simple task. Must be a way....

<html>
<head></head>
<body>

blah

</body>
</html>

You shouldn't have to do this though is basically what they are talking about. It's like opening up outlook on your computer and just typing an email with font options like block letters, colors and what not. In outlook on your PC you don't have to use HTML tags to do those things. They want the same for pocket outlook. Of which I know not how to do if it's even possible. You might have to use tags...maybe thats what MS meant...dunno for sure though.

Hmmm those tags didn't work for me either.
