I use the Eudora e-mail program, and I can choose under Tools, 
Options. One of the options is Styled text, When I click that it asks 
me to check if I want to send styled text, plain text only or plain 
and styled. The latter would come when I am  answering a message 
written in something like blue italic. If I say, plain and styled, 
that portion of it will stay blue italic. Otherwise if I choose plain 
only, and it will all be black and standard.

Just for fun I went over and looked at Outlook Express, which came 
bundled with my computer. It too has Tools, Options. Under Send it 
has a default of HTML for sending messages, but one can easily click 
the button for plain text.
