Disable Date Events Smart Links in Email Display

I received an email on my iPhone4. It had several phrases in the body of the email like "Sunday night", "Tuesday afternoon", etc. EACH OF THOSE PHRASES WERE UNDERLINED, apparently because I could touch them and create an event (in the calendar?) That's OK.

BUT THE PROBLEM IS that when I forwarded that email to an OUTLOOK account, which is restricted to only view email in plain text (not HTML nor RICH) format, these underlined phrases show up like the next line:
...walked in Sunday evening <x-apple-data-detectors://0> my wife said...

So, does anyone know how to turn OFF these "smart links" so that forwarded email does NOT carry left-over "event codes" from the iPhone email?

THANKS!

I am also looking to switch off this feature. Did you find out how to?
