Hi, It sounds to me that changing between HTML and/or Basic HTML within the web-interface is outside of what is being asked here. What I hear is that the desire is to use the Apple Mail client but use a different eMail address that is not a Gmail address. If this is actually the direction you were hoping, then, yes, it is entirely possible and I just did it earlier this week.
By far, the easiest way to go would be to do the following: * open your browser and go to Google. * sign in if you aren't already signed in. * navigate to the link/item that reads as your Gmail account and press return on it. * Navigate to the right and find the Account link. If you have Group navigation on, then it is in the group with the "Change Picture" stuff. * in the Account page, in the Personal Information section, press on the Edit item. * navigate to locate the Other eMails area and press the Edit button for that section. * on this page, there will be an area where you can add an alternate eMail address. * once you've added the new address, a confirmation is sent to that eMail address and you'll need to confirm. What has happened here is that you've now related that eMail address to your Gmail account. Don't worry, it doesn't affect anything about your actual eMail account, it's just an association between your Google account and this other eMail account. So, you can now login to Google with this other eMail account and you have access to all the Google features including your Group memberships. So, what to do next: * go back to the Google main page. * press on your name again and sign out. * sign back in with your other eMail account. * if you now go to an eMail message in Apple Mail that came from some MacVisionaries topic, down at the bottom there is an item that says something about "Visit blah blah link to get more options". Press on that link. * it should take you to a web-page that relates to the MacVisionaries discussions. If it doesn't, close all windows in Safari then press on the link again from in your Mail message and it will open the correct page. * press VO-i to bring up the Item Chooser and enter the word "settings". * two or more options should appear, "Settings" and "My Settings" for sure. I usually press return on the "Settings" one then navigate once left to the "My Settings" item. For some reason, going directly to the "my Settings" doesn't always work as it should. * once on the "My Settings" item, press return. * arrow down to find the "My Membership blah blah" item and VO-space on it. * navigate around this Group membership settings page and there will be a pop-up with the various eMail accounts associated with your Google account. You can VO-space on this pop-up and choose the non-GMail eMail account for sending messages. * navigate to the Save button and press it. All done. Can't recall how fast it is applied but I believe that it is pretty well right away. There is another method whereby you totally disable the Gmail app within your Google account. It is a little more drastic and complicated so I didn't get into it here. If that's the direction you'd prefer to go, I'll see if I can clearly outline that procedure in another eMail later. HTH. Later...
