And in addition to Charles' reply and to answer your other question; the way
they will see your message totally depends on their mail client, mail client
settings and mail format support for their account.
In general it is not being considered "nice" to change the message format
(especially "upgrading" it). There could be technical reasons or limitations
why you receive the message in this format in the first place.
Also Rich Text shouldn't be used outside an Outlook environment. If you want
to send a message with formatting use HTML format instead. Sending Rich Text
formatted message to non-Outlook users could lead to mail corruption if the
mail server doesn't deal with them correctly.
