[bcab] Outlook express plain text question

Has anyone else noticed that in outlook express latest version, even if you 
have it set to send all 
messages in plain text, if you paste some information in rich text into a 
message (e g from a 
webpage or word document) it doesn't automatically strip the coding like it 
used to?

On my system if I paste the text in it remains in rich text HTML format, the 
only way I can get it 
to change to plain text is to first choose format menu rich text, then format 
menu plain text, (Alt 
O then R followed by ALT O then X) whereby it does finally strip all the coding 
& formatting out. 
A bit of a pain to do this every time though!

I've checked the program options carefully.   Under tools menu options, send 
tab, it is set to send 
in plain text only.   And under the read tab, it's set to "read all messages in 
plain text".

Either I'm mistaken or this email program is going downhill!  It used to act 
like notepad does, 
stripping all code when a block of text is pasted into it.   However apparently 
this is not the case 
any more...
Anyone know different or got any suggestions?
