Outlook XP HTML email is plain text in OE6...why?

[Scott]

When my Father sends an HTML email to me it shows as
plain text in Outlook Express6. We are both using WinXP
(Him with Home and me with Pro). He is set to send HTML.
His HTML message is properly formatted when received on
my other computer using Outlook 98. I can receive HTML
mail from others. I can receive HTML from my Outlook 98
computer that look fine. Is something wrong somewhere?

Thanks
Scott

Do you have OE set to read all messages in plain text (Tools | Options |
Read tab)?

Go to tools / options / read tab, make sure "read all messages in plain
text" is NOT checked!

Thanks for the replies, but no that is not checked. As I
said, I can receive HTML emails from others, but not from
him. All of his are plain text. He sent the same email to
both computers. My computer using OE showed as plain text
and the Outlook98 computer was HTML. I forwarded the same
message from the Outlook98 computer to the OE computer
and it was still in HTML. Weird...
