Nothing like a millionth look. It is the title tag that is being carried over: When Outlook [or is it the X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2653.19)-- whatever that is] creates an html mail message, the sender inputs the subject which is for some reason created as the title in the body of the html message: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=windows-1252"> <META NAME="Generator" CONTENT="MS Exchange Server version 5.5.2653.12"> <TITLE>Let's Go Get Stoned</TITLE> When the reply or forward is hit by the recipient, the title tags including the original subject contained with in it, are retained by Outlook Express. Then when you set format::plain text, the original subject or title is still retained but unseen [outlook express composes mail message under composition in html regardless of setting -- only after sending does it apply apply plain text or retain html], so once sent, the retained original title or subject, is then revealed as plain text on the other side along with the body of your message.
