This is a test of my own. Every once in a blue moon OE prompts me with the option to change a message to plain text when I press the "send" button, as when I send a message to the MTF. My guess is that there's a setting in OE that triggers this prompt, but I have no idea which setting that would be, and will leave it to somebody more techish to figure that out.
