Gmail – Stop Gmail opening “Rich formatting” email editor

gmail

I have configured Gmail to use "Plain Text" when composing emails, this works as it should when I'm in Gmail. However when clicking a mailto link on a web-page it always opens the "Rich formatting" editor.

Does anyone know how to make it stop doing that?

Best Answer

When you switch to Plain Text composition the choice sticks until you either log out or clear your cookies.

Gmail – Email Formatting Guidelines for Google Calendar

I have had limited success with the following format:

Subject: My test event

Email body says:

This is my test event!

When: May 7, 9-10AM
Where: 123 Main Street, Berkeley, CA

Using the keyword "Location" instead of "Where" seems to work also.

In Google Calendar, this will populate the Subject, the body and the event time and the event location (The field labeled "Where").

I have been using the above format with my personal Gmail account, and my institution's Google Apps account. It usually works with the "Add to Calendar" button, and with the "More: Create event" menu option.
