OL2000: Reply to HTML messages in plain text

[=?iso-8859-2?Q?Ivan_B=FAtora?=]

Outlook Express includes an option to "reply to messages using the format in which they were sent". Clearing this option will make OE reply in plain text regardless of the original message format.

I generally do not send e-mail in HTML at all. Outlook makes me manually change the format to plain text every time I reply to a HTML message.

How could I report this issue to Microsoft?

Thanks,

Ivan

That's the way Outlook 2000 works. If you want to be able to read all
messages in plain text, upgrade to OL 2002 or 2003, where that option is
available. Microsoft won't add that feature to such an out-of-date product
as OL 2000.

I did not say I wanted to read all mail as plain text - I want to REPLY to HTML e-mail in plain text, but not necessarily read the original message in plain text.

Then decide you're going to change the format manually. I can't imagine
Microsoft is going to change the way OL 2000 works at this late juncture.
