Gaylord, there is a better way. To limit individual addressees to 'plain
text only', do this.

Open your address book and hi-lite the address you want to restrict, then
click on 'Properties'.

This opens a window with a bunch of tabs along the top. Click on the 'Name'
tab.

This opens a window which has, in the lower left corner a 'check box'
labeled "Send Email Using Plain Text Only". Check the box.

In this way, you can limit the individual addresses to plain text without
changing your overall html setting for everyone else.

I hope this will be helpful for some of you.
