Yep. Outlook's default Plain Text setting is to create Quoted Printable text
which attempts to preserve line breaks, etc.

Since there is no clean support for Quoted Printable in RFC2822, this
setting is the result of hubris rather than stark reality.<g>

Go to Tools, Options, Mail Format, select Plain Text. Then click on Internet
Format and choose the check box which says "Encode attachments in UUENCODE
format when sending a plain text message." This should affect attachments
only. It should make the entire message UUENCODE proper. For good measure, I
also use the option that attaches HTML referenced images rather than
creating a URL to their locations.

Now, let's see if these settings hold for this message, eh?

Oh!! And thanks to everyone who replied with the results. I do appreciate
it!
