My testing found that both Outlook 2000 and Outlook 2002 will always send a
message created from a custom form in RTF format unless the recipient has
specifically been marked to receive only in plain text format. A good
solution is to use the form for data entry, but have the Send event create
and send a new message with your content in HTML format.

Add this statement to your Item_Send event handler:

Item_Send = False
