I don't believe you, the recipient, can do anything. But your friend the
sender can..

To get rid of the dumb info Exchange sends out in WINMAIL.DAT to
non-exchange mail clients, select Address Book from the Tools menu. Add
every single Internet address you know of which is a) a mailing list or b)
someone who doesn't use exchange. Double click on each address individually
and Click on the tab "SMTP - Internet". Uncheck the "Always send messages
in Microsoft Exchange Rich Text Format" for *each* *address*
*individually*.

Are we having fun yet?

Apparently, for a 38 word msg, with one word in colour and one in a
different font, exchange sends out a 1514 character file to describe it.

cya,
