emails to customers full of html

[Guest]

HI there...

dumb question, probably due to being a newbie...

 

When I send test emails to test customers, the emails are full of html.

Apparently it makes no difference if I have html or text selected

What am I doing wrong here, please?

thanks, in advance! B)

 

example in email when only text is typed:

Here is the 3rd test...<br/>

in straight text <br/>

 

example in email when text is typed and words are changed in size and color and background:

Bonjour,<br/>

Ici le deuxieme test de la journee, cette fois ci en html...<br/>

Suivant ca, est la copie de l'ancien email en html...<br/>
