Here's the reference to OE's Mail format I mentioned:
http://www.okinfoweb.com/moe/format/format_005.htm
Apparently, according to the author, OE translates plain text to HTML for
viewing, regardless of the format chosen, so Ctrl F2 is showing the source
of the message we're reading. Ctrl F3 will show the plain text version.

Not true. You can set OE to send plain text messages. See
http://www.expita.com/nomime.html for details.

The Ctrl+F2 is MS's attempt at converting a message to HTML.

If you send a plain text message from another e-mail system (say Pine on
Unix) and then do this trick (Ctrl+F2) OE will show it as HTML by replacing
CR-LFs as the break (BR) tag and that is all.

To see if a message was truly sent in HTML format, all you need do is to
double-click the message, select File-Properties-Details and then click
Message Source.
