I received email with special formatting, such as colored portions of
text, and some strike-out. When I forward this back to myself, the
formatting is preserved. However, when I forward it to a another
account that is read using a non-Microsoft mail reader, the message
shows up without the character formatting. Viewing the message source
shows the Content-Type to be text/plain. After much poking around, I
found that the only way to forward the message while preserving the
formatting is to go to the message composition window and set File-
the same message is sent in text/plain unless I set the MIME option
again. How do I ensure that MIME is used by default when there is
fancy formatting? The only other plausible option I could find is in
Outlook's Tools->Options->Mail-Format->Send_in_this_format: HTML.
However, that is already set.
