HTML messages

I think I have a problem with HTML / text e-mails... I have an online form
that sends HTML e-mails. The some problem is that I receive messages like
this one:

<html><head><xmeta http-equiv="charset" content="iso-8859-1"></head><xbody
BGCOLOR="#FFFFFF" LEFTMARGIN="0" TOPMARGIN="0" MARGINWIDTH="0"
MARGINHEIGHT="0">Hello! Yadda yadda yadda</xbody></html>

That was an example... So as far as I can see, Outlook doesn't interprets
the HTML body.

Please note that the e-mails are displayed correctly on Thunderbird or any
other e-mail client I've used before.

Outlook is less forgiving of improperly formed mail than is Thunderbird. I
suspect that the messages you're receiving have some ill-formed or missing
headers that are confusing Outlook.

Well I've tried a basic html message like <b>hi</b> and other *basic* stuff
and it's still the same...

There's no <html></html> tags in your example. It's no wonder Outlook won't
interpret it.
