Problem Retaining OE Email & News Message Plain Text Setting

BlankProblem Retaining Email & News Message Plain Text Setting

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Am using Win2k & OE 6

1. My Outlook Express/Tools/Options/Send "Mail Sending Format" and
"News Sending Format" are both set to "Plain Text"

2. But when I prepare to send an email or a newsgroup posting, the
Format drop down on the message panel always shows a dot next to the "Rich
Text (HTML)" instead of "Plain Text".

Unless I reset the Format back to "Plain Text" before sending the new
message/post, my messages are sent in HTML format.

What additional settings, in addition to the main OE Options (No. 1
above) are required to prevent the Send Format mode from automatically
switching to the "Rich Text (HTML)" thus over-riding the OE Option "Plain
Text"setting?

Any suggestion as to how to retain the Plain Text as my default
setting will be appreciated. It shouldn't be necessary to check Format and
reset to Plain Text each time I generate a new email or news posting.

TIA

If I generate my newsgroup post using the following sequence, my post is
implemented in Plain Text.

1. Click on OE "New Post"
2. Click on "Message" on the File/Edit/View/Tools/Message/Help toolbar
3. On the Message dropdown, select "New Message Using", and on its dropdown,
select "No Stationary"
4. A check of the Format dropdown, on the resulting "New Message" panel,
now shows the dot next to "Plain Text".
5. The new post is then output in "Plain Text"

Hopefully, with the above aditional info, some win2k/Outlook Express guru
will be able to determine what is goofed up on my settings and suggest a
fix. Any help will be much appreciated
