There is a MIME type for rich text. Unfortunately, that's not what 
LookOut uses when a user asks to format a message in rich text: it sends 
plain text plus an attachment file with formatting instructions. A 
recipient not using an M$ product doesn't see any of the formatting. 
This is essentially the same problem Robin has complained about in 
Mozilla: sent messages not looking as he wrote them, and with no notice 
to the sender.

Personally, I also prefer plain text. But I have no objection to rich 
text in the MIME format. It isn't hard to read with a plain text agent.
