Turning off the RTF feature in selected mailers:

Microsoft Exchange/Microsoft Messaging (or whatever they call it these
days)
- In your address book, select the internet mail recipient.
- Select the address tab (usually the tab on the right and the one that
comes up by default.
- Uncheck the box that says 'Always send messages in Microsoft Exchange
rich text format.'
- Hit OK. Now your messages will go out in plain old type just like the
rest of our messages do.

Microsoft Internet Mail-
I tried finding a similar option for you all to select. Unfortunately, I
can only tell you I was able to send myself a message without any sort of
attachment popping up.
The settings I might suggest if you believe you are having problems with
the rtf attachments is under the Menu - MAIL/OPTIONS. Under the 'mail
sending format' select 'plain text'. Then under settings for plain text,
select MIME for you attachments and 'Encode sending text' as none.
