Outlook Express version 5.0 How to set Plain Text format Select "Tools" -> "Options" -> "Send" Select "Plain Text" You can also adjust word wrap size etc by clicking on "Plain Text Settings" button Regards David Huisman

You can also adjust word wrap size etc by clicking on "Plain Text Settings" button Please set the word wrap size to something huge like 255, so that the end of lines you TYPE are the only ones likely to appear in your message. Otherwise, when you type returns at the end of the lines in your "who knows what sized" window (and perhaps in a propotionally spaced font as well), you'll likely end up with each line cut into a long line and a short line (once at the wrap column, and once again at YOUR end-of-line.) This is very annoying to read. (You can ignore this comment if you use an editor or typing style that doesn't involve any user-provided end-of-lines, of course.) Thanks Bill W (Yes, the awful formatting above is intentional, to make my point!)
