You're half-right... the message itself indeed is only ASCII (which
incidentally does'nt say much, but that's another matter). Your mailer's
DESCRIPTION of what was sent looks like:
"Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=X-UNKNOWN"

It's the charset that my Outlook is objecting to. Not to worry... just a few
extra clicks.

I use a Unix system for my e-mail.  It uses straight ASCII.
