Indeed; and this post of yours was correctly in that format.

Amazed though I am to hear this, I've just looked at my partner's machine
(she uses Outlook 2000 as a mail client, fetching her mail from this OS/2
machine using POP3, and sending her outgoing mail to the SMTP server
hereon), and indeed I cannot find anything that deals with what to do in
that event.

Netscape has an option "always send in plain ASCII, even when the
original is in HTML (or multipart/alternative)".  Whilst astounded by
MICROS~1 non-provision of an option to suppress HTML altogether, I am not
completely surprised.

All the same, it might be worth asking if there might be a setting after
all on the <news:microsoft.public.outlook.configuration> froup.

In the meantime, I'll try to remember to be less scathing of those using
Outlook [Express] (although, of course, one has to question the wisdom of
using a piece of software that has been demonstrated to commit over 200
violations of Internet standards (as enshrined in various RFCs).

Yep: it's fine.
