HTML formatted email

Just in case anyone is still wondering why all the fuss about html email,
the email below arrived in the digest exactly as it is shown below.  I am
already used to just scrolling through all the junk, as probably around half
of the people using this list are either sending, or responding to people
who have sent, mime/html formatted emails.  The point has been made before
to little or no effect, but even one less person sending html makes the
digest that little bit more user friendly.  Sorry for the clutter.

This is a multi-part message in MIME format.

- ------=_NextPart_000_0018_01C0FE7B.9D18BAD0
Content-Type: text/plain;
        charset="us-ascii"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

Dan, this is a pain.  I've found no solution either.  It may not be your
post that did it, though.  When replying, at least using Outlook, you can't
change the format.  You only have option of selecting the format when you
create a new message.  I too have the "send using plain text" option
selected for the mailing lists.  So when I select new message, it is by
default text.  But if I reply to a message that is html, the reply will be
html as well.

Outlook Express, in many ways, is better.  But I use the rest of Outlook -
not just the e-mail client - so I haven't switched back to Outlook Express
and probably won't.

>PLEASE TURN OFF HTML!
CR*P!  When I created the address book entry for the mailing lists, I
specified to *NOT* send in microsoft Rich Text Format.  On another form, I
selected "MIME-plain text".  The other options were:  "Plain text/UUEncode".
I see no options for HTML.  I'm using Outlook 97.  (Is that the bug?)
If someone knows how to turn this off so that I never send HTML to the list,
please let me know!
Are *ALL* my posts arriving with HTML?  I ask because I've suspected that it
may also be caused by the messages you reply to, and if they're HTML-coded,
Outlook may ignore my preferences and do likewise with my reply.
Sorry for the mess!

Thanks, Chris!
I'm sure you meant no special authorities *beyond* what *USER gets, but does
this profile specify SPCAUT(*USRCLS) or SPCAUT(*NONE)?
