Can`t format emails on Yahoo...

[Tarka]

Hey guys,
Can anyone help ?

I have a couple of email addresses on Yahoo,to which I can receive email fine,no problem.
When I try to reply to emails,on either account,after clicking on 'Reply' ( or 'compose' ) I get the email page with the recipient`s address and subject but when I click on the blank space where you put your writing,nothing happens. No curser, no text ,nada.
My Outlook Express functions ok though.
Any ideas ??

Stupid question, but has it worked before ???

If you're using Outlook, your not using html but pop3, meaning the problem shouldn't be yahoo, but your program.

Do you have a pop3 subscription with yahoo ??

Err,no,I`ve never used it before...

Sounds like I need to sort out an account or different programme
in order for it to work.

I`ll ask them how to do it.

Cheers for the reply.

I don't use Yahoo, but I know that you can set Outlook to send emails in HTML by clicking the option in Tools/Options then the Send tab (Mail sending format). Makes for fat emails.
There is also a tick box for "reply to messages in the format they were sent."
Hope this helps. PB
