sugestion below could be helpful (maybe a bit offending for Wintel users

You can send a reply containing this text.  (It originally came from
one of the lists I use, perhaps this one).  I find not only does it cure
the problem, but they often send a message back thanking me.

Your recent message arrived with the text in the message and an
attachment, with the information repeated as an HTML file.  I believe the
information below might help you prevent doing this in future.

========================

Thank you for your recent email. It has been detected that
you are using Microsoft Outlook Express as your email reader.

This software is notoriously inefficient and generally has
badly defined 'default settings'.

Rather than be a complaint, this message is intended to help
you configure your email software in order to enable you to
obtain the best productivity from your computer.

Please follow these instructions so that future emails you
send will be Internet compliant.

Configuring Outlook Express correctly:
--------------------------------------
1. Load Outlook Express

2. Click on the 'Tools' option on the menu bar and select
   'Options...'
   This will open the options control window.

3. Click on the 'Send' tag at the top.

4. Under the "Mail sending format", ensure that the 'Plain
   Text' option is ticked, by clicking on it if needed.

5. Click on the 'Settings' box to the right of this option.

6. Ensure that the option "Encode text using" box is set to
   'None' and click 'OK'.

7. Repeat steps 4-6 for the "News sending format".

8. Ensure that the 'Include message in reply' option is
   turned OFF - ie. no tick - by clicking on it if required.

9. Click 'OK' to activate your new settings.

Outlook Express should now be setup correctly.

Thank you.
