Oultook allows you to

"Change the message format for all messages sent to a specified recipient"

But works hard to make it difficult to find and configure (as only Microsoft can excel at)

http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/outlook-help/change-the-message-format-to-html-rich-text-or-plain-
text-HA101992313.aspx

so you can make all posts to boost_at_[hidden]  use only plain text.
