how do I send email in html instead of plain text

[Guest]

I recently changed from Outlook Express to Outlook 2003 and all my mail is
sent in plain text with pictures and stationary as attachments. I have looked
at every setting in the options menu, I am set to send as HTML and the new
email header says HTML, the sent file copy is in HTML but the delivered copy
is in plain text. Somewhere between creating the email and sending it is is
being converted to plain text.

I have sent the same email from Outlook 2003 and Outlook Express to 4 other
computers in every case the Outlook 2003 is received in plain text and the
Outlook Express mail is received in HTML

Does anyone have an idea I have looked at every setting and option I can
find and nothing helps.

Thanks

Hi Gunsmith,

Please have a look at the mail in question you sent in the "Sent Items" folder. If the email is shown to be in HTML, that's the way it left your machine. This means that the email has
passed through a mail server
that doesn't support HTML messages, and has stripped out the formatting and downgraded it to Plain Text. If this is the case, this will be out of your control.

However, if the message shows as Plain Text in your "Sent Items" folder, their is a configuration on your local machine.
