Want to make a recipient default to PLAIN TEXT only

[jimhome]

I use OL2002. I've opened up the contact, "Joe Smith". I double-click
on the email field. It shows that the "Internet format" field is "Send
plain text only". However, when I draft an email to this contact, "Joe
Smith", it still goes out as HTML. (And if it is sent as HTML, he
never receives it.)

If I remember to go to the tool bar and change it from HTML to Plain
text when I'm draftinng the message, Joe Smith will receive the
message. If I forget to change it from HTML to Plain Text, then Joe
never sees the message.

Also worth noting: I use Word as my default text editor and have a JPG
with my signature in my Outlook closing.

Is there a way to have messages to Joe Smith send as Plain text always?
(The "Send plain text only" method doesn't appear to work.)

Thanks, Jim

something is wrong - outlook should convert it to plain text and send it.
does it work without the sig?
