Seconded.  (At least get rid of the <font size=2>.  You (your mailer)
really shouldn't be specifying to reduce the HTML font size _two_ sizes
from the default.)

Does anyone have any helpful hints on how to use MS Outlook without seriously irritating those with whom one corresponds who are using more standard (sic!) mailers?  For example, can it be configured to NOT use HTML-ish markup, but rather send plain text?  Is there some way to persuade it to quote with ">" the way God intended rather than by indenting the quoted text?  Or should I just select everything and set it to a reasonable pointsize and black before sending?

(Yeah, I know ... "get a decent mailer" ... that, unfortunately causes as many problems with my internal mail as Outlook causes with my external mail.  Sigh ... hoisted on my own petard when it comes to "creative" conformance with standards, that's for sure!).
