I use OL2002.  I've opened up the contact, "Joe Smith".  I double-click
on the email field.  It shows that the "Internet format" field is "Send
plain text only".  However, when I draft an email to this contact, "Joe
Smith", it still goes out as HTML.  (And if it is sent as HTML, he
never receives it.)

If I remember to go to the tool bar and change it from HTML to Plain
text when I'm draftinng the message, Joe Smith will receive the
message.  If I forget to change it from HTML to Plain Text, then Joe
never sees the message.

Also worth noting: I use Word as my default text editor and have a JPG
with my signature in my Outlook closing.

Is there a way to have messages to Joe Smith send as Plain text always?
(The "Send plain text only" method doesn't appear to work.)

Thanks, Jim
