Always reply in plain text format

Guest

I am using Outlook 2003 with the most current updates. I have all Outlook
settings set to use "Plain text" whenever such an option is available.

What I want is for all of my replies/forwards to default to Plain Text
format, so that I do not have to select Format | Plain text every time.
Currently, this works for plain text messages only, but when replying to an
HTML formatted message, Outlook is defaulting to an HTML reply. Now, I know
there is the whole netiquette issue, but all email clients support plain
text, so even if they sent in HTML I am not forcing them to display a format
they may not be able to read.

So, how can I force this behavoir? It's really annoying. Thanks.

Wow. It's an available setting in OE - I can't believe I can't do this in
Outlook. Is there no hack or addin to fix this?

If you have Outlook set to read all incoming messages as plain text, then
your replies will all be plain text.
