But now that almost everyone uses a GUI-type email or webmail service that can easily view HTML, I decided it was time to change and now send all of my emails as HTML.  Here’s how it’s done:

1. In Thunderbird go to Tools>Options.
tbird-html-1

2. Head to the bottom right of the new dialog box that opens and select Send Options.

tbird-html-2

3. Finally at the top of the screen under Text Format, select “Send the message in HTML anyway”.

tbird-html-3

That’s it.
