OPERA does not seem to support HTML email editing on my web based mail service.....Explorer lets me do this but not Opera....am I missing a plugin or something as I do love using Opera but it will only let me write TEXT based email and not rich html ones.....I use FASTMAIL which normally defaults to html email but it wont on Opera....

the rich text editor feature is actually built into the browser (i forget what its actually called). its either not supported by opera itself, or fastmail have deemed that the number of people using opera is so small that its not worth the time and money making their service work for it.

there's probably nothing you can do unfortunately.

This is something that has annoyed me too. I don't fastmail via the web that often, but I'm sure that until recently it used to work fine - version 7.5 or 8 caused the problems maybe?? Or was it just something that fastmail changed at their end?
