Hi Bruce,
Thxs for the response.
No...I've made very sure that I've clicked on the Outlook option that
clearly denotes HTML format.
There are three format options available:
1. Plain Text
2. HTML
3. RICH

I have definitley chosen HTML as the format.
I have also removed and re-installed Outlook 2007 but get the same
result.
It seems that whatever type of text-format this version of Outlook is
generating, it isn't visible with my Outlook Express version 6.x
Very odd indeed. I will not make the switch to Outlook 2007 until I'm
sure that OE 6.x can read the "HTML" formatted emails I send, because I
send a great deal of this type of email to relatives, etc. and they ALL
use OE.
Any other ideas?
Thxs again.

Are you using Outlook's RTF, (Rich Text Format),? OE can't read this type

I am not certain whether the problem I'll describe is an OE6.x issue or
an Outlook 2007 issue. I'd appreicate any help:
I am creating email with Outlook 2007 (part of the MS Office Enterprise

package).
I create an email and insert a phone via the drop-down menu item that
allows me to browse for a picture.
I then change the background color of this email and use some of the
nice fill-effects that are availabe.
When I'm done the email in front of me looks fine.
I then send it to an system using Outlook Express version 6.x on a
WinXP system.
This client is set for HTML email and has never had any problem seeing
images, photos, animations, colors, sound, etc.
When the above referenced emial arrives on this OE system, the user
sees nothing but the name of the inserted picture and any text
originally written.
No picture, no color, no fill-effects.
Any idea as to why this might be happening?
I've NEVER used Outlook before (aways used OE). Is what I'm trying to
do possible or is Outllook HTML email not visible on OE systems??
Thxs for any help.
