Macro to force plain text reply in O2K?

[Jon Quixote]

O2k

Want to force plain text replies to HTML messages without having to hit
Format|Plain Text, then the "Yes, I meant to do what I wanted to do,
dangit!" button.

Even dragging the Plain Text option onto the toolbar and using it from there
is a pain, still making me use two clicks I don't want to have to use for
the dozens of emails I deal with all the time (you MVPs oughta appreciate
how much little time savers add up, hehe).

Anyone know of a macro/button that'll automagically do the above, or can one
of you gurus create one easily, pretty-please-with-sugar-on-top? It's
another pain in the arse that creating macros in VB can't just record
keystrokes/mouseclicks anymore outside of Word, as that's all I'd need to do
it myself...

TIA

Why force HTML on people who send you plain text on purpose? They may not
want nor be able to receive HTML mail (Outlook 97 and Pine come to mind).

What?

(/me rereads original post and subject line to see how/where my intent was
misread)

Shakes head.

Nope, don't see where you got that from.

I want just the opposite - to REPLY, in plain text, to those who send HTML
messages to me.

O2K forces a reply in the format in which the original message was received,
but I prefer using Outlook-Quotefix for organizing correspondence - and that
proggie requires the message to be plain text before it reformats it.
