Hi All,

I use Thunderbird as news reader and I was looking for a way to use bold
fonts to *highlight *parts of my messages and for a way to use the full
width of the window when typing messages.

The only way I found is to switch to HTML format. Two questions in this
respect:

1. is there any limitation on using HTML on the dBase newsgroups?
2. is there a way to use simple formatting in plain text mode
    (bold/underline/italics) and to make Thunderbird use the full width
    of the screen when composing text messages?

Thanks,

Gaetano.
