Easy. This is the same as in the Microsoft Exchange Client which shipped with
the first release of Win95, and with Exchange Server 4.

For each address book entry there is a checkbox labelled "Send rich text
format". This needs to be UNCHECKED.

If you (or your user) takes a look at

http://www.angrygraycat.com/goetter/widgets.htm

there are a lot of useful add ins, including "Rich Text Sentry" which will
permanantly solve this problem.

Also  http://www.slipstick.com  has a lot of useful MS Exchange, Outlook 97, 98
and Outlook Express information.
