Linda, In Outlook 2002/XP you can do this by opening the address book and then double click on the contact name. Then right click on the e-mail address in question and choose properties, use the Internet Format drop down to determine the e-mail format for the contact.

I've noticed it in quite a few of my posts, but I only ever use plain text - even converting to plain text when someone write to me in html. With the option to only use plain text with certain contacts - is/was that through the Address Book or Contacts in Outlook 2000?
