You can set Outlook or Outlook Express to default to plain text.
They'll still revert to HTML when you reply to HTML mail, though. I do
wish Outlook Express would let you compose plain text mail in a
monospaced font, like Outlook does, since that's the way it'll most
likely be read.

re #25 ... i think the text/html settings include something like 'reply
in format as received' which is probably what you have selected. there
is a switch for *alwyas text only* in replies.
To set up Outlook Express so that your message replies are
sent in a format that the originator's e-mail or news reading
program can read, in the main window, on the Tools menu, click Options,
and then click the Send tab. Select the Reply to messages using the
format in which they were sent check box
IFF, however , you leave that last checkbox EMPTY ... and also, below
that section , set your mail-sending-format to plain-text, you should
have achieved your goal.
in teh plain text, text settings, there is MIME (default) and
uuencode as options. . i am not sure how either would affect your
sent messages. someone else can advise on that.

Today I got one from Nigeria which was actually in proper English. A novel
approach. Please comment on the final line of this spam. Should I not
have forwarded to abuse@worldemail.com (is this a ruse to collect my email
address) or are they really so dumb that they did not know how to mail
without this line? I also forwarded to abuse@wswnet.com to be sure, and
to spamcop. Someone please explain what spamcop wants me to do - do I
have to go to the link that they sent me to finish the spam report? (In
which case forget it, far too long to type in properly).
These people are stingy - only offering 10% of $27.5 million instead of
the usual cut of $40 million.

ATTENTION: Sindi Keesan
In Africa, it is said that the most difficult decisions are at times made
blindly while believing God for divine guidance. In light of the above I
bring to you blindly our problem. I am a principal officer in the
monitoring & evaluation department in one of the ministries in my country.
We have not had the pleasure of each other's acquaintance but I hope this
will be remedied soon.
The reason for this enquiry concerns a contract valued at US$27,500,000.00
(Twenty Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) that was awarded in
1997. Anticipatory approval had already been sought and given for the
release of the money for the payment
of the contract. My colleagues and I have deliberated much on the issue
at hand and we believe that you might be able to assist us receive the
funds.
What we require is someone to be our eyes, ears and hands, someone who is
reliable and trustworthy, and above all cautious, who has a vision and who
will be able to manage whatever business in which we shall inject venture
capital and declare a profit at the end of the day because we have already
floated and registered a company here and we intend to appoint you as a
Trustee of the company to facilitate the remittance of the funds to your
country.
Therefore, we need someone who can share our dreams and ideals. I am sure
that with the insider information I can provide, we will with your help,
conclude the transaction within 21 working days. In consideration for your
assistance, we have agreed to giv e you the normal transaction commission
obtainable of 10% of the total sum, and another 5% if you can successfully
put together an investment portfolio for us, as we intend to invest some
of this money , rather than leave it idle in a bank account.
If you believe that you can be this person, please, contact me for more
information, otherwise, I thank you for your patience in perusing my mail.
Best regards,
Samson Tobi.
