Responding to HTML in ASCII

[Wowbagger]

Outlook 2003

When somebody sends me an HTML message with embedded images and I hit reply
I get the message "To complete this action, Outlook must download content
from a server other than youe e-mail server. This could verify to the
sender that your e-mail address is valid and increase the amount of junk
e-mail you receive in the future." I can click OK - and download all of the
crap that I don't want - or I can click CANCEL and not be allowed to compose
a reply.

I only want to reply to the sender in ASCII and not download all of the
pictures they think are pretty and use as part of their stationery. How do
I reply to this user without downloading the images?

has ever managed to duplicate the exact circumstances under which it
happened, and many people have ended up looking very silly, or dead, or
both, trying."

ARe you using Outlook 2003? Do you have the option set to read all mail as
plain text?
