You seem to be posting in text. No problems, anyway.

But the specifics depend on which email package you are using. I use 
Thunderbird, Mozilla's open-source email software. In the Address Book, 
if I select the properties under the "NAFEX" listing, there's a little 
box that says "Prefers to receive messages formatted as..." text, HTML, 
or unknown. Set that to text.

But Thunderbird defaults to "unknown," so unless an address is 
deliberately set to HTML, the software will ask me how to format an 
email every time I send one.

Other email software will be different, but probably similar. Check the 
address book. If that doesn't work, check "Options" or "Preferences" in 
one of the drop-down menus at the top of the screen.
