Pegasus Mail (which I just started using at home since Kana
no longer needs my services) help says, "When you make a 
change to your message that will result in it being sent in a rich 
text format, the Rich text control in the message editor will be 
automatically checked. You can force the message to be sent as 
plain text, regardless of any formatting it contains, by unchecking 
this control." It's at the top of the Message header when you are
creating mail. Uncheck it. Or you can go to Tools/Options, Sending 
Mail tab, check "Always Remove Formatting" button.

At least, that's what I'm doing with this message. We'll see what
happens. 

Internet Explorer, even though "Plain Text Only" is checked, will
send HTML format if you are replying to an HTML-style message (or
if you cut-and-paste), which I think happened to me once or
twice.
