How can I compose in word, paste into thunderbird, and get okay formatting?
Sometimes, when I'm sending long emails, I like to compose in my word processor - MS-word 2003, and paste into my email client - Thunderbird.
But when I do, there are all sorts of little (and not so litte) formatting hiccups. I gather the problem is mostly that Word uses all sorts of crazy non-standard stuff in its html output.
Is there a way to fix this problem? I way to make word produce cleaner HTML? A tool that will turn Word html into something friendlier? A word-paste-cleanup plugin for Thunderbird?
(And : I know I could compose with Open Office or Google Docs. But mostly I like Word, and would like to keep using it...)
