Thanks for this info.  Indeed, Outlook is sometimes so frustrating I do feel
like "wacking" the space bar.

Ok, I don't use Outlook, but my wife does use Outlook 2000, so I
looked to see how to do this in that version.  I suspect this will be
close for other recent versions of Outlook.

1.  Choose Options from the Tools menu.

2.  CTRL-TAB twice to the Mail Format tab.

3.  Make sure that the first item is set to send email in plain text.

4.  Tab twice to the settings button and whack the space bar.

5.  Tab once to the second item and make sure the "Encode text using"
option is set to None.

6.  Dismiss the dialog boxes with the OK button.

This should get rid of the equals signs in your emails.

This is for Outlook Express.  I haven't found the equivalent fix in MS
=
Outlook 2000.

This is the reason some of you have equals signs in your plain text=20
messages:

Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

To fix this, go to the Send tab in the OE property sheet where you=20
choose whether to send messages in plain text or html.  You will
see=20
associated with each option a settings button.  Click the plain
text=20
settings button and make sure the "Encode text using" combo box is
set=20
to none.  It's probably set to quoted printable.
