Main screen in outlook...goto Tools>Options>Mail Format. This is outlook
2000 and later I believe. Outlook 97 doesn't have an option for html.
That sets it up for every email. You could always set it to html then
change it to plain text once you're typing a message. Under Format.
I believe you could make Exchange send everything as plain text also.

I checked the email client and it is sending as rtf. Unfortunately I
don't
know how to change this option if the address isn't in the personal
address
book. It's under the contact list and I don't see an option to send in
plain text.
Thanks!!
