Friend of a friend has asked me to resend an email in another format because he gets emails through his tellie. What doees he mean?

[anthomson]

Maybe his telly doesn't support HTML and therefore cannot render fancy images and fonts. Outlook has a setting which allows you to send mails in either plain text or HTML formats. Some webmail services (hotmail) also allow you to turn off HTML formatting. Emails on yer telly - we can't even get channel 5.

Or if you meant "what does he mean about getting emails through his telly", you can get an email address on some cable TV services. cwctv.net is the domain for Cable & Wireless, which is the parent company of NTL.

BSBSky also provide E-mail addresses for their digital customers.

I have a hotmail email and I don't know how to use any other format. Now, though, the only thing he has inquired about his visit here is whether or not there are any local Bingo halls. Wonder why we bother sometimes :)

You must disable "rich text" as tv cannot read it--same applies to Amstrad e-mailer
