Outlook 2010 receives HTML as Plain Text

Post by Leif »

I have an odd situation where I am receiving a HTML formatted email OK, but another user on the same network receives the same email in plain text, with the 'extra line breaks removed message', and it begins with:
--_010_4C0C33E0A6070D4692839683796F4B381863B581BL2PRD0712MB630_
Content-Type: multipart/related;

boundary="_009_4C0C33E0A6070D4692839683796F4B381863B581BL2PRD0712MB630_";
type="multipart/alternative"

--_009_4C0C33E0A6070D4692839683796F4B381863B581BL2PRD0712MB630_
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

boundary="_000_4C0C33E0A6070D4692839683796F4B381863B581BL2PRD0712MB630_"

--_000_4C0C33E0A6070D4692839683796F4B381863B581BL2PRD0712MB630_
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
Both PC's running Outlook 2010. The message had another message as an attachment, and multiple links in the signature. As this message came in to a generic mailbox and then delivered to multiple mailboxes, I can't see that it was sent in different formats. On the 'offending' machine, it was received in the Inbox, not Junk folder.

Has anyone any ideas where to start looking for a solution?

Edited to add:
Other HTML-formatted emails are being received OK, so it is not an total 'convert all HTML to Plain Text' issue.

Does that user have his or her antivirus program set to scan e-mails? I found some reports that this may cause *some* messages to be converted to plain text.
Best wishes,
Hans

Ah, yes! Kaspersky, and we are running different versions (don't ask... :grin:) Let me see what I can find out from that.

Thanks!

(Interestingly, if I forward my correctly formatted copy, it is received OK.)
