How to send a plain text e-mail

My version of Outlook is set to send HTML e-mails, however I want my program
to send plaintext e-mails

I have tried

MyMailItem.BodyFormat = olFormatPlain

but I then end up with an e-mail with no text in, it somehow deletes the
body text.

Any ideas?

I've been looking into this issue. What is the build number on the Help | About screen?
