Title: OFFTOPIC: Making Outlook mailing list friendly (was RE: Subsetting/ Canonical Parsers/ XML Compliance/ etc.
To use
plain text by default: got to Tools->Options, select the "Mail Format" tab.
When already editing a message, you can also switch it to plain text via the
"Format" menu.
To
quote messages with "> " when replying, select Tools->Options, and in the
first ("Preferences") tab, select the "E-mail Options" button at the top. There
are options there to control the format of replies. Unfortunately, I've found
that it only abides by this preference when replying to plain text messages. If
the message I'm replying to is formatted, it goes back to its preferred method
(which is really annoying).

Seconded. (At least get rid of the
<font size=2>. You (your mailer)
really shouldn't be specifying to reduce the HTML font size _two_
sizes
from the default.)
Does anyone have any helpful hints on how to
use MS Outlook without seriously irritating those with whom one corresponds
who are using more standard (sic!) mailers? For example, can it be
configured to NOT use HTML-ish markup, but rather send plain text? Is
there some way to persuade it to quote with ">" the way God intended rather
than by indenting the quoted text? Or should I just select everything
and set it to a reasonable pointsize and black before sending?
(Yeah, I know ... "get a decent mailer" ...
that, unfortunately causes as many problems with my internal mail as Outlook
causes with my external mail. Sigh ... hoisted on my own petard when it
comes to "creative" conformance with standards, that's for
sure!).
