How do I turn off strikethrough in sent emails

[Guest]

XP Pro SP2 Outlook 2003 :

I upgraded to 2003 recently and strkethrough seemed to be included in the
default font when composing messages. This was easily corrected in Format,
Font.

However this effect still shows up in my Sent Items folder and is also
affecting messages at the receivers end. It seems as if strikethrough is
applied to text as soon as I hit the Send button.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem ?
Thanks

Are you using Word as the editor? If yes, then with Word/Outlook closed,
find and rename normal.dot to .old. Reopen Outlook and see if your new
message is still showing the same behavior. If yes, post back.

Thanks for the reply.
The problem was cleared by changing Mail Format from HTML to RTF.
