It may "default" to HTML now, as do Yahoo and Hotmail, but it's an
easy thing to turn off. I'm still using gmail in text-only mode.

It doesn't "default" to HTML.

Yes, it does. Why do you think, that close to all the gmail users
are sending out HTML mails?

 It defaults to RTF,

No, it doesn't. It doesn't even send out RTF. It's either
HTML or plain text, what you can compose on gmail.

and even then you can change that.

Sure, no doubt about that. I fail to understand though, why
GMail sends out HTML, if there's no formatting in the mail,
which would require HTML. IMO, it should behave like Mozilla:
If you compose a mail in the HTML coposer and the mail has
no HTML elements, a text/plain will be created. THAT is the
proper way to go.

(I hate HTML mail....and I hate Outlook even more.)

Outlook and Outlook Express are the two worst mail clients in the universe.

They are not. Lotus Notes beats them to that.

They're too slow

Not really.

and bloated to do anything, and they don't accept ANYTHING other than MS Exchange server

Wrt. Outlook Express, that's plain wrong. And wrt. Outlook: It's
wrong as well. Outlook CAN interface IMAP servers. But you'll
lose all the benefits of Outlook in this case.
