AH HA! I think I figured it out. If the one I reply to has html, mine
defaults to an HTML reply even if I have it set to "plain text," but if I
flip it to "html" and then back to plain, it will fix it.

Linda, check your settings under Tools-Options-Send. Is the box "Reply to
messages using the format in which they were sent" checked? If so, remove
the checkmark. On the same tab, then select "Plain Text" under News Sending
Format.
