Choose Format > Make Plain Text (available only when the current format is rich text). Plain text format doesn’t include formatting (such as bold or italic text) or items like tables and images, but is readable for all recipients.
Choose Format > Make Rich Text (available only when the current format is plain text). Rich text (HTML) format can include formatting, tables, and images, but may be unreadable for some recipients.
