Walt's advice is right.  In addition, however, once the "use plain text"
radio button is selected, he should tab over to the first "text settings"
button, hit spacebar to activate it, make certain that the MIME radio
button is checked (I'm sure it is in his case), then tab over once more to
the combo box and change the setting from "quoted printable" to "none".
Tabto "okay" and hit spacebar, then tab to "okay" and hit spacebar again
(or hit ENTER twice -- I think "okay" is the default) and he's in
business.
