How I fixed it for Outlook/Exchange

There is a MS patch that patches the mailer for internet mail you must apply
this first. It does things that makes the mailer behave more like a unix
internet mailer. and does things like truncate lines and uses > for replies.

Remove the option that replies using RTF format, these attachments are usually
the RTF formatting information from MS Mail. IIRC this is a per person option
in your address book.

Remove the option that uses MS word as the email editor that is responsible
again for formatting junk.

send a test mail to a tame netscape or other non MS mail user to check its OK.

MS has a very MS centric view of Internet email
