I am using Outlook Express, and lets you chose wether or not you want your
email in HTML. When i look at the mail have send to the list i do not see
any files attached, so i think you could solve the problem by sending ASCII
emails. (To chose ASCII email select Options from the Tools menu, click on
send and chose Plain Text in Mail sending formats.)

There is a way f setting this in Outlook Express too. After selecting Plain
Text, press the button Settings (in the same window ), in the buttom of the
new window you can select how long lines you want.

Outlook Express is a small version of Outlook, so if you can do it in
Outlook Express you can probably do it in Outlook too.
