a curse on Microsoft Outlook

I have considered switching to Emacs-on-NT (ObUnix: Emacs runs on Unix, too
:-) for my email, but then decided against it, for crass political reasons.
Outlook is *the* email client software that my company's IS group officially
supports, and nobody here uses Emacs-NT to read mail.  If I misconfigure
something in Emacs, and spend a day during a crunch period learning how to
fix it, it's my fault.  If Outlook goes kablooey and I have to call the IS
folks, and they spend two days fixing it, it's not my fault.

By the way, several folks have suggested that I fix the problem by going to
Tools->Options, selecting the "Mail Format" tab, and choosing "Plain Text".
It already is set that way.  I've sent email to the person who fixed my
system the last time Outlook went kablooey, and let them worry about it.
