I'm not sure that's quite ideal. I don't have Outlook here to check, but
if that's what you normally do, you might be interested to know that *your*
headers show:

MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

which is ridiculous, because "Windows-1252" is a unique Microsoft
non-standard character set (meant to be similar to ISO 8859-1, but with a
unique symbol order), and it's also an 8-bit character set which can't be
represented in 7 bits without using base64, uuencode, quoted-printable, or
similar.

I'm not complaining, merely informing :-)
