I am trying to send an emal to a my sailing club members in HTML
format. However, outlook 2003 tags it as spam and puts it into the
trash. However this does not happen to HTML emails sent out by Apple.
What is likely to be the cause of this problem, how does Apple make
sure that it's emails are not identified as being spam?

Outbound mail is never identified by Outlook as spam and even if it were,
Outlook wouldn't put it in the Deleted Items folder unless _you_ set it up
that way.

It is the recipients who are having this problem. Not outbound email.

Many people (and I am one of them) set up their e-mail reader to toss HTML
e-mail into the spam directory because HTML mail is usually spam, especially
"lazy HTML" whwere the HTML refers to images etc on a web site somewhere -
that is usually not only spam, but virus infected as well.

For some reason when the emal arrives in the Outlook inbox it displays
a message saying "This email was converted to plain text" but HTML
emals sent by Apple do not do this they arrive in their original
attractive html.

Originally you said the messages were being placed "in the trash" and being
"tagged as spam". Now you say something else. Could you please post an
accurate description of what is happening?
