Not a shill for MS, but with Outlook 2007, and I think earlier versions as well, under Tools, Options, Mail Format, there is a choice: HTML, Rich Text, Plain Text. Whatever you choose, all your e-mail is sent out in that format. Seems simple enough to me.

I wouldn't consider switching to anything else unless I was forced to use an M$ system for e-mail, and even then, I seem to recall seeing a POP3 grabber, procmail (not so sure on this one...don't know if I could live w/o procmail), and mutt, all packages for Cygwin..... > But, I've been doing this since Bill Gates was a snot-nosed chump who > didn't bathe nearly often enough - back in the wood fired, steam > powered, belt drive days of S-100 bus computers, TRaSh-80s and Commode > Door 64s. Bv)= I haven't been around computers and the nets quite that long.... I started out while in college at Texas A&M. I remember Bitnet, Texnet (which was renamed from something else...but I don't remember what it was called before), and, of course, Arpanet. I remember when I was first told that it'd been renamed to Internet. My reaction: "Oh, what a dumb name!" I haven't seen Bitnet, Texnet, (not to mention Archie servers), etc., since then. I did have a newsfeed (via UUCP) from a public access Unix or two. Well, that was fun (the memories, that is)!
