Is this happening at the recipients' end? Are they using email clients other
than Outlook, and are you sending email in Rich text Format?

I don't know the answers to your question. My email is being sent in Rich
text, which I prefer but if it causing this problem I will switch to Plain.

That's usually the answer - only Outlook (not even Outlook Express) can read
RTF mail.
