To "control composition" you would need t use either Word as the editor, or use Outlook's rich text format settings. HTML allows some control but is incompatible with some email programs and may be disabled by choice by others. RTF is only compatible with Outlook and Eudora. Word as the editor only works well if the recipient uses Office.
