Now, if you are composing is not in your address book, there is (probably) a default option for that as well.  Where that particular option is set, I do not know.  I am sure someone will have that information and post it.

Dear Michael,

I have decided to join those who do not use HTML.  That seems the best 
solution, because my intent was to use *Bold* and /Italic /to make 
responses of help in forum business.  I thought that by using one or the 
other, I could answer a comment right next to their statement so they 
wouldn't have to search for it.  Also, if there were several notes to be 
remembered in an email, they could be addressed as they were read.  It 
just seemed like it would be easier.  But I would rather not create 
waves if there are some that don't like it.  Thanks again for the help.  
By the way, I posted this issue as resolved.  I understand some pay per 
email just to respond.  I don't want that to happen to those kind folks 
that don't realize I have solved my problem.  Great to hear from you 
though, and thanks again!

Steven
