Allegedly:

1) Click on "Compose" tab, address the message and fill in the "Subject"
line
2) Before composing the message, click on "Tools" (next to "Copy message
to sent folder")
3) Click on "Rich-text editor OFF" to set off
NOTE: The toggle is actually counter-intuitive. That is, if the drop menu
choice says "Rich -Text Editor OFF" RTF formatting is on. When the toggle
shows "Rich -Text Editor ON" RTF formatting is off.
4) If you receive a pop up message "Are you sure you want to do this?"
Click "OK" and wait for text formatting tools to disappear
NOTE: If you are using Netscape, then you will NOT be given the the choice
to turn ON/OFF RTF formatting. Messages will be sent in plain text format.
5) Compose your plain text message
6) Send your plain text message

But as I don't use hotmail, I'm not sure...
