Hello markoh,
Thank you for your question.
It appears that there are several ways to achieve this in Outlook. One
such can be found at this page:

"How to disable HTML email in Microsoft Outlook
--------------------------------------------------------------
One of the big security risks (if not the biggest) coming from
Microsoft Outlook is HTML email: malicious scripts, hidden images and
frames - just enough to track your email or even bring down your
computer. Unfortunately, Microsoft doesn't provide an easy way to turn
HTML email off. Fortunately, Outlook provides rich object model
accessible through VBA.
Whenever new email arrives to Outlook Inbox application_NewMail()
event happens. At this point we can loop through all unread email
messages and convert them from HTML to plain text..."
They continue with instructions and code that can be copied and pasted
into the macro to set this function up for you.
NTBugTraq has a utility to prevent html in Outlook versions 200 and
2002:

NoHTML v1.2.0.0
"NoHTML.dll is an Outlook Add-in designed to convert HTML-based emails
into harmless messages. It works slightly differently for Outlook 2000
than it does for Outlook 2002. Does not work with Outlook 98, or any
version of Outlook Express.
In Outlook 2000, NoHTML converts HTML-based emails into RTF format.
While this eliminates all HTML tags and scripting, it has the
unfortunate side-effect of possibly resulting in completely blank
emails. An example would be if the original HTML-based email is based
entirely on a Table (ZDNet Anchordesk newsletters are one example), it
will appear completely blank in Outlook 2000 after NoHTML.
Unfortunately Outlook 2000 cannot convert HTML to Plain Text.
In Outlook 2002, NoHTML converts HTML-based emails into Plain Text
format. It places the word "HYPERLINK" in front of URLs (Outlook does
this, not me), but strips the message of all HTML tags and scripting.
Tables appear as long lists of text strings and/or URLs.
The .dll found at the bottom of this page works on either Outlook 2000
or Outlook 2002. It works with the Outlook Email Security Update, and
the default installation of Outlook 2002 (In other words, it doesn't
conflict with Outlook built-in security measures)...."
You can read the entire article and download the program at the page
above should it fit your need.
And Yehweb offers this:

"...Disable HTML Email in Outlook 2002
If any of you use Outlook 2002, there's a registry setting that will
disable HTML mail, causing all incoming messages to be displayed as
plain text.
-Go to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Options\Mail]
-Create a new DWORD Value and name it "READASPLAIN" (without the
quotes)
-Then set the value to 1
If, by chance, you really meant to say Outlook Express, then this
shareware utility might be just what you need:
PopularShareware.com
http://www.popularshareware.com/noHTML-for-Outlook-Express-download-1096.html
"noHTML for Outlook Express is an add-on that protects Outlook Express
from email viruses and email scripts such as Klez and Co.
By converting incoming email messages from HTML format to simple text,
the program lets you read your emails more quickly, and eliminates the
danger posed by most email-borne attacks.
It adds a button onto the Outlook Express toolbar, and with a single
click you can enable or disable HTML in your incoming email...."
This has a free trial and is $19.95 to purchase.
