Recipients can't see my handwritten e-mail messages.
Ink in your e-mail message appears as a picture for recipients. Therefore, if recipients use plain text as their e-mail format, they will not see the ink, because plain-text e-mail editors can't display pictures.
I can't insert ink because my e-mail message is in plain text message format.
If you send a message in plain text message format, the Ink Drawing and Writing command on the Insert menu (Picture submenu) is unavailable.
If you reply to a plain text message in plain text message format, the Ink Drawing and Writing command on the Insert menu (Picture submenu) is unavailable.
If you want to use ink in a message, use the HTML message format. In the Message Format box, tap HTML.
