    Outlook 2003 displays plain text - the "full email" not parsed

    ...or at least that is how I would describe it. Its like its ignoring the formatting, and displaying everything. IE the first bit is the MIME tag then the message in plain text, followed by the message in HTML.

    View all messages in plain text is turned off, all the logical settings don't say "make my messages look rubbish". Apparently this wasn't happening yesterday, but is now.

    And in the plain text bit it has "=20" for spaces/carriage returns.

    I'm guessing Outlook is thinking the message is encoded somehow and just blurting everything out.

    Apart from uninstall and reinstall, what am I missing here? Being completely dense?

    Tried googling, no joy....

    Thanks!

    *edit*

    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.


    ------=_NextPart_000_0157_01C5A7EE.FE226850
    Content-Type: text/plain;
    charset="iso-8859-1"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit


    then the "plain text" version of the message, followed by

    ------=_NextPart_000_0157_01C5A7EE.FE226850
    Content-Type: text/html;
    charset="iso-8859-1"
    Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable

    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
    <HTML><HEAD>

    blah blah blah, some proper HTML. But outlook is displaying that, not parsing the code...parsing is the right word, I think

    Hmm, uninstall-reinstall doesn't "fix" the problem either...how bizarre.

    Any ideas folks?
