Sheesh. I just created myself a damn Excite account and within 30
seconds I found the HTML / Plain text switch.

When you are in the compose message screen, look just below the box
where you compose your message, you will see

  Send email as: < > HTML formatted    < > Plain Text

Excite's screwy design defaults to HTML, and in my quick perusal of the
preferences, I don't see how to change the defaults. But all you have
to do is, each time before you email a message, click on the Plain Text
radio button. Problem solved (except for some reason it still appends
a final <hr>, which is not a big deal since the main problem is fixed
because it will set the Content-Type header to text/plain).

If it were me, I'd find a better free account that doesn't default to
HTML or that lets me change the default so I don't have to click Plain
Text for every email.
