Then delete most of the characters (I leave the word 'Hi' in my favourite format) and save the e-mail as a Canned Response.From then on you can access your preferred format by clicking on the Canned Responses option within gmail and then type away using your saved settings.I've waited for the chance to set up a regular format for my gmail for as long as I have been using it, and now it's finally here nobody seems to have noticed the possibility!
