No, you're clean now. Outlook isn't FORCING me to respond in HTML.
It's considered rude because we of the linux world often use high power mail
clients. Like 'mail' or 'pine' or 'elm' : ) Those clients show the mail as
straight, unrendered HTML. So when HTML-ified mail comes in, it looks tacky,
and you are possibly turning away some very smart people who just don't have
the time to scan through the HTML to figure out what you're getting at.
Live and learn,
