how to send an oft form in plain text?

[trinaz]

I have an oft file used for a template to respond to certain messages I
receive...it was designed and saved in oft format in plain text...but...when
the Rule is processed..... the oft in a reply email formatted in Rich text ?

Can anyone tell me why this is so and can I get the oft file to be sent in
plain text instead of rich text ?

Thanks

I have the same problem. So far I dug out that this is happening because
in Item_Open I am altering Item.Body. For Outlook 2000 this is ZE
BEHAVOIUR. As soon as you alter Body of message - it is autoswitching to
Rich Text format, at least this is what I heard.

The message format in effect when you create the form is irrelevant. What matters is the format the user is using when they send the item. You can use the Item_send event handler to create a new message using CDO, then cancel the sending of the original message.
