OE oddity

[Dunphy]

Greetings,
I recently let a friend use my computer for a few minutes to send some
e-mail and somehow they managed to mess things up somewhat. Whenever I
compose new mail or reply, in the new message box, right down at the
left-hand side, bottom, there are three tabs there (edit, source, preview).
I have tried and tried, but can't figure out what these are, or how to get
rid of them.
Can anyone help me out???
TIA

Change the email format to plain text. (I think you'll find it in Tools-
Options-Compose - I may be wrong as I only use OE in News mode)

Hi,

Open a new e-mail or reply, click view/source edit to turn this html service
off. You may need to complete and send an e-mail in this mode in order for
the new settings to stick.

In the window that appears when sending mail, click format and change to
plain text from 'html'.
