Unfortunately the training would be a bit much, the immediate group it's
going to pushes a dozen facilities in 4 countries.

The "format option" was actually where I was hoping to go with this, if
nothing else you've convinced me that's a route worth investigating.

want to force each user to add each of the potential recipients as contacts
and change their output to plain text.

Seems to me that the amount of user training involved would be preferable to
the solution that Sue has outlined.

It used to be that if you touched the Body property in code it reverted to
plain text. That was probably a bug that has since been fixed. And you would
not want to rely on the presence of a bug for the success of your form.

Another avenue to investigate is the format option on the new message itself.
If you open a new message and click options, you will see a format control
that is initially set to autoselect. This is one of those settings that is
always included in that format control in the outlook properties of the email
address of the recipient in the contact item. I betcha you can use code to
set the value of that control to the value that would be picked up from the
contact item. I never tried to do that, but there really has to be someplace
in the message that receives that value from the contact item.
