Thanks, Sandra. That was enough of a hint to help me find it. The actual 
setting was under Edit/Mail & Newsgroups Account Settings/Relevant 
account main page/Compose Messages in HTML format. I'd been looking 
under Edit/Preferences/Mail & Newsgroups/Send Format. Under that heading 
you can set specific domains to recieve HTML or text email specifically.

In summary it looks like you can set the option in any of three places. 
Under the account settings you can set the default for that account 
(although for some reason it seems to be on the recieving account and 
not the SMTP setup!). The second place is under the general preferences 
(a comlpetely different menu path is required to reach these 
preferences) where you can select specific domains to go either way, and 
finally it seems you can select individual email addresses to recieve 
HTML or text email (another menu path again). I'm sure that would cover 
most bases for most people, but seriously :) Does it need to be that 
complicated and configured in so many places? <grin> Oh well. It seems 
to be working nicely now.

Benjain.
