I think that Outlook 2000 (what I am writing this with..) will only send html if the email that you are replying to is html.. I have outlook set to text only on new messages, and txt only on reply.. but outlook still occasionally uses html if you respond to a html email..
its a pain that.. pretty soon I will ditch outlook and then winblows altogether.. Virus's are going to demand that I do, my linux mail server has stopped so many virus's from being recieved lately that it is rediculous... and I don't believe that its going to get any better... Still, even if I was using only linux I would still use postfix/amavisd/filescan to do all my emailing, because I don't wish to make matters worse, and even if uneffected myself, I would not want to pass virus's along not knowing what they are, (since the will not execute on linux I may not even know they are virus's and pass them on.) but I love the fact that my 3 linux mail servers all do a fantastic job of protecting winblows users. I have saved about 30 or more virus's in the last week, and most of them have been badtrans... (got another 3 of them last night.) love this linux..

Try checking out this page: http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Wikilearn/OutlookExpressPlainText Note a few things: * Even though the URL refers to Outlook Express, I am fairly certain that this was really for Outlook 97. There are some screen shots attached that might help (and they show the critical checkbox to uncheck the option to send HTML). * The page is *very* rough -- I collected the information (mistakenly) because I thought it was Outlook that my friend was having trouble with -- when I found out it was Exchange, I just saved the notes for future reference. * If you look into that page, give me some feedback -- you can do that either by email or by adding comments to the page.
