The setting for the individual recipient has no effect on the format of the message that the sender sees. Think about it: You might have an HTML message that you want to send to multiple recipients, but have half of them get it in plain text.

What the recipient gets will be plain text. You can test this, of course, simply by sending yourself a message using that technique.

Hi Sue,

Thank you for the explaination on how to mark a specific contact for
specific email formats. I followed your suggestion but the email still
defaults to HTML.

I will keep watching for further suggestions here. I am using Outlook 2003
Professional.

Thanks

You can mark a contact to receive all messages in plain text format by opening that person's contact record, double-clicking the email address, and choosing plain text from the available mail format options.

There is no similar option to specify stationery for a particular person.

I want to designate specific contacts to receive plain text emails or
stationery without having to choose each one separately.

Thanks
