I have OE 6, and there is no such option as "read in plain ASCII text".
Do
you have a special version?

I sure wish MS would make a plain ASCII mail and
news-reader that integrated with the rest of Office.

They do, it is called Outlook Express 6. Just go to Tools,
Options, Read, and check "Read as plain ASCII text".
Problem solved.

While you're in there, go to Send, and uncheck "Reply
to messages in the format they were sent", and check
"Plain Text" in the mail and news sending format boxes.

Microsoft really does give you the capability to configure
their products to work the way you want. You just have
to dig a little to figure out how.

What would be great is if they'd ship them configured
with all the extraneous crap turned off by default. That
way you'd have to deliberately turn on the features that
can cause you grief instead of searching out the ways
to turn them off.
