There's an option to use or not use Word as your default editor for
E-Mail in Outlook.  It's in various locations depending on the version
you have at work.  Try turning that off and maybe it'll stop doing HTML.

The term "the whole 9 yards" came from W.W.II fighter pilots in the
 South Pacific.  When arming their airplanes on the ground, the .50
 caliber machine gun ammo belts measured exactly 27 feet, before being
 loaded into the fuselage. If the pilots fired all their ammo at a
 target, it got "the whole 9 yards."
