How do you set it to send out just plain text and not multipart/alternative? There's only a rich text editor as far as I can see, so what am I doing wrong?

Nothing, as far as I can see. There is no option I can find to do so. Sorry.

[grschinon]

There ought to be.

Yet another oversight (the absence of the contacts from OVI Sync in the Mail address book is another).

OK, it's not as if it's costing a lot of money and you get what you pay for. At least I can use a normal mail client with IMAP4 and send properly formatted e-mails that way.

I've found a solution.

If you switch to the low bandwidth version of OVI Mail, you get an interface to compose a mail in plain text only.

Well done.

I actually looked at that low bandwidth option, and it flashed through my mind that it might do the job, but I dismissed it.  I thought it was more an "incoming" rather than "outgoing" setting.

Good spot my friend.
