There's a dumb trick that works with a couple different email programs I use. 

After you copy and paste, switch your email to rich text, and then switch it back to plain text. That's probably just an issue of two mouse clicks on your toolbar, easy and fast.

For me, that forces the message into plain text. 

Not that I'm perfect in this regard. I wish, for example, that I could turn off the stupid ads that Hotmail globs onto the bottom of all my outgoing messages. Anyone know how to do that?
