Title: PLAIN TEXT ONLY! (was RE: NFS server errors; LOTS of DUMPs)

I'm using Outlook 97.  How do you click on the "plain text option" when replying to messages? 

Other users of Outlook 97:  What does your "Send Options for this Recipient Properties" for Midrange-L show?  For lack of better understanding, I checked that "I want to specify the format for messages to this recipient" and selected the MIME format with "Plain text" only.  Instead of MIME, I could select "Plain text/UUEncode" but that appears to be specific to Macintosh; would that make a difference for the list mail?

I have just searched through "Clippy", and the only way to tell Outlook to send "plain text" is to uncheck the "Always send to this recipient in Microsoft Exchange rich text format" box, which I have done.  This is my second week using Outlook, previously our email was about as text-based as could be - from a mainframe based email server. 

For all the complaining I've done over the past year or so about this problem, it bugs the heck out of me to be contributing to it.
