Isn't Outlook XP the same as Outlook 2002? The doc at expita.com
has instructions for Outlook 2002 (although they're not especially
to the point). But, then, the whole Net is a cookbook, and the
chef's name is Google. Take a look at this page, for example:

Another thought: You say you're posting at work, so I presume you're
on a network. Can this change be made by an ordinary user, or does
it require administrator's privileges? Some software configurations
may be off-limits to users. It's ridiculous, especially when it
comes to something as innocuous and expedient as configuring a mail
program to send plain text, but quite possible. Why not ask your
SysAdmin for help?

Yet another possibility: webmail. The webmail sites I'm familiar
with all send plain text. You can set up the AT&T Worldnet website,
for example, to send and receive mail from any address, including
non-Worldnet addresses, using any computer with Net access. A basic
dial-up account costs ten bucks a month. Of course, there are free
services (Yahoo et al.).
