MIME header (content) is displaying with the email text.

[johnMc]

Using mail client, Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 (11.8002.80028) SP2,
the MIME header is displaying with the email text. The email is sent
using the message type =text attribute. How does one prevent the MIME
content (header) from displaying?

For example, the EMAIL displays as:

From: (e-mail address removed)
To: (e-mail address removed)

Verification of Mail Client

The mail client that you are using is Microsoft Office Outlook 2003.

Outlook is fairly strict when it comes to interpreting MIME headers. I'd
suggest that the sender is creating an ill-composed MIME message.
