HELP. Can't send HTML in Outlook 2003

[benn]

I want to make a newsletter, formatted in HTML, that I send using my
Outlook 2003.

So as a test, I took the html source code from a simple table I made
and pasted the code into a new message in Outlook. I then sent it to
myself.

When I receive the email, all I see is the HTML code, NOT the table!!!

I have tried this in HTML mode and Plain Text mode. I have tried using
Word as my default editor and using Outlook as my default editor.

I have sent dozens of tests. No matter what I try, when I receive my
test email, I always see the HTML code, never the table or other
formatting.

What is going on? How can I use Outlook 2003 to send HTML coded emails
(that perhaps I design in FrontPage or Dreamweaver) so that when the
recipient gets the email, they see not the code but the actual intended
formatting?

Thanks.

You do not paste the raw HTML code into the Outlook message body.
What I usually do is to create the HTML message body in FrontPage,
then copy and paste the Preview of the message.
