Use Rich Text Box Editor:

Allows you to choose whether or not you want to have extended formatting capabilities, including message fonts, adding color to fonts and backgrounds, and creating lists. Selecting No will remove the formatting toolbar from the top of the Message field which is where you would put your message body on the Compose page. The Use Default value is usually set to use Rich Text, however this option may not be available depending on company settings, or if you are not using a supported browser.

Allows you to set the email format between HTML or Text for messages that you receive. If you select Text, you will not be able to see any graphics or other special HTML formatting in the messages you receive. The default value is Use Default. This option is controlled by your company settings, but is usually set to HTML.

The default value is Use Default. This option is controlled by your company settings, but is usually set to Web.

Use the drop-down field to select the time zone for your account. The time zone is reflected anywhere the time is displayed, including when viewing Inbox or Track Sent messages and in Notification messages.
