ANGELshorts Vol. 3, Issue #2 Five Things You Should Know about the Course Mail

From the article:
"The Course Mail tool allows students and instructors to correspond with each other without requiring the use of Internet e-mail accounts. It provides access to the new HTML editor, supports adding attachments and forwarding to Internet e-mail addresses, and allows the sender and recipients to monitor who has read a message."

Question about HTML editor

Hi there. I'm trying to piece together what happened to the HTML editor in course mail that has apparently now been disabled by default. I have a vague memory of this being disabled for some reason, though I'm having no luck finding any announcement about this through ANGEL alerts. Are there plans to restore it? The help files and this ANGEL short all talk about the HTML editor like it's still there. Also, oddly, I noticed that one can restore the HTML editor capability by changing one's personal message format default preferences to HTML.

Thanks in advance!

Re: Question about HTML editor

For questions like this you are best off contacting ANGEL Support. You'll get a response in a few minutes or hours in most cases.

It sounds like you've already diagnosed and corrected the problem—your preference was changed to plain text and changing it back to HTML restores access to the editor. In plain text mode ANGEL assumes that the user will be hard-coding HTML manually and applies no formatting to such message.
