Your mail is being sent as a multi-part MIME file, with both plain and

HTML versions. I don't use Outlook, so I can't tell you how to set it to

text only.

You can't go from plain to HTML; only the other way around. Different

either way. You should also have an option to reply with the same kind

as the original, or to always reply with one specific type.

I don't "hate" HTML email; I just think it's a waste. Sorta like having
