I have only identified one such > post; have there been more? I think I've seen two of yours, and one from someone else (maybe two). But I believe you are correct in that yours was in response to another (the other?) post, as I think Outlook will indeed reply in whatever format was originally sent (unless you tell it otherwise, and no, I don't recall where you do that). You can tell Outlook to send only in plain text, but I believe a response is in whatever format the original was sent, unless you tell Outlook to do otherwise. The above was in plain text BTW.
