Use Ctrl-F3. Is there a Content-Type: Text/Plain portion in the source?
Perhaps that is what is being rendered by OE?
In that case does View, Message in HTML (Alt-Shift-H) do anything for you?
An OE Stationery group would probably be more familiar with this symptom
than here. Unfortunately the most active one is not hosted on this server.
Good luck

Here is the original Doctype statement and the head section:
================================================== ============
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"
html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
head
titleemail from Michael/title
meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /
meta name="keywords" content="search keywords go here" /
style type="text/css"
/style
/head
I actually began removing stuff to see if that would help.
First I took out the doctype. Then I simplified the opening
html tag. Finally, I removed the entire head section, but that
was not the problem.
Also, I have to say that I know it's not very pretty code.
Normally, I would have put most of that inside the style tag
within the head, but I had just read a couple of articles about how
some email clients/readers will strip out or ignore the CSS unless
it's put in inline styles. So that's why it looks so 'busy'.
That's not how I've been learning to do it!
Here are two of the articles I looked at:
'How to Create Great HTML emails with CSS'
check out the do's and don't's at the end of the article.

'HTML EMAILS - TAMING THE BEAST'

Also, this one about OE6 disabling HTML viewing for security
reasons, and how to turn it back ON again.

The menu selection:
View = Message in HTML (Alt+Shift+H)
IS DIMMED OUT!!! I can't select it; it has been disabled.
That must be a clue as to what is happening, but I don't know
how to reverse it??
Thanks,
