Nope, still there. Don't know anything about outlook, but in NS mail
there's a preference that says something like "Prefer rich text" which
you need to uncheck to avoid HTML.

Even in the latest versions of fvwm, you can only change the styles of
windows if their resource class or instance names are different.

You will need to investigate further; the FvwmIndentify module (if you
have it in your version!) will help with this. Select the main window
and then the popups and see if you can see a difference.

I just tried with my copy of standalone Navigator, comparing the root
window to the "Find" dialogue. The class of both is "Netscape", but the
resource of the root is "Navigator" while the resource of the dialogue
is "findDialog_popup". So, you should be able to use these differences
to set the style for the root differently than the others.

Actually, the man page also says you can change styles based on the
window name; I wonder if you can set the netscape root window name to
something rather than have it change for each page title as it does
normally?
