Yeah..I guess I will add that to Greg's instructions....sometimes we forget
that something we take for granted (like closing a program before you edit
the registry in ways that affect that program) is not so obvious to anyone
else
Greg....I adjusted your step by step instructions slightly..notice I added
numbers 1 and 5...let me know if this is not OK:
1. Close Outlook and go to the Start menu and click on run. Type regedit and
click OK to open your registry editor.
2. Look for the registry key
HEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
3. If the DWORD value InternetMailTextEncoding doesn't exist, create it.
4. The following values change Outlook XPs behavior in this fashion (from
MSKB article 278134," OL2002: How Outlook Applies Encoding to Plain Text
Messages")-
If the value data is 0, Outlook is set to Encode Intelligently.
If the value data is 1, Outlook uses Quoted-Printable encoding.
If the value data is 2, Outlook uses Base 64 encoding.
If the value data is 3, Outlook uses no encoding and leaves 8-bit characters
as 8-bit characters.
Setting the value to 3 will ensure that no encoding will be applied to
messages composed in plain text. This will allow your posts to Freelists to
remain clean of unwanted characters.
5. Exit the registry editor and open Outlook and your problem should be
solved.

It worked because I deleted and re-created the DWord without Outlook
running. Seems that it didn't like me setting a value on a running
program. Even though it set the value, when Outlook re-started it ignored
it.
(I am sending this so that we document the solution in case anyone else
has problems getting Outlook to recognize the registry change.)
