AFAICS in Word 2003 Word remembered the setting for the document, but
otherwise defaulted to HTML. A closer look tells me that that worked if you
saved as .doc but not as .htm or .xml. In 2007 it seems to forget the
setting for the document whatever format you save in.
So no, at the moment I cannot see a way to make this "sticky."

Peter,
Thanks for the info. Sending as text makes it work.
Right now my main problem is Word 2007 not remembering that I want to send
as text after I close and open Word. This was not a problem in Word 2002.

If you are trying to send HTML format e-mails they will /probably/ just
disappear because Windows Mail cannot cope with them and (AFAIK) does not
flag an error. Outlook Express does the same. With text format or
"attachment" format the emails should at least get through to the email
program.
(FWIW here I have Vista + Outlook + Windows Mail and HTML mails were sent
via Outlook even when I tried to configure things so that emails went via
Windows Mail. Plain text went via Windows Mail)

I have been using Microsoft Word 2003 for a while to do some e-mail mail
merge with Outlook Express for years. Well, I just switched over my
e-mail to my Vista machine with Office 2007. For some reason Word does
not see that Windows Mail exists and that under the "Finish and Merge"
button the "Send E-mail Messages..." button is grayed out.
I did found this article:

Now that I have done this the "Send E-mail Messages..." is not grayed
out but when I try to send something nothing happens. Windows Mail does
not seem to see that Word is trying to send an e-mail.
Anyone have a solution to this?
Thanks,
Mike
