Yes there IS a way to do it with Outlook. Or Outlook Express. You can
set Plain Text settings for the outgoing email (Tools, Options, Send
format) and make sure that it is not encoded at all, or use Base64 or QP
as you wish, you can specify the character encoding (ISO-8859-2 or
whatever) and MIME options.

I wouldn't use Outlook if you paid me, but if you have to use it because
of corporate policy or masochistic tendancies, then you can tame it a
little bit to behave in an almost civil fashion.
