Er, if you set the format as I have said, it does send it as plain
ascii. (Or as near as it can get to it)

Pegasus is not too bad. I use Outlook Express here because I like
certain features,
but it does have a few traps for the unwary. They can be overcome and
it's relatively well behaved,
(apart from it line wrapping ism's which are a bit of a pain at times.

I am quite aware of this thank you. The msg was intended for someone
who appears to be using it.
It was also intended as gen info for anyone on the list that may be
using it and had the same problem.

is fixed. :^)
Complain to Bill Gates about Outlook Express. :^)
