It now looked like this
We looked at this before but now i can replicate it as it was me who sent the message and replied to it. All messages were sent from outlook2003 in plain text format.

I have found the reason for this:


A third thing that can cause "messy" email is the fact that some older mail programs do not gracefully handle the advanced character sets that let us use "special characters" such as bullet marks, foreign letters, and other non-standard characters.
Eudora and many other email programs use something called "quoted-printable" encoding to send these special characters, which requires that the receiving email program support an email standard called MIME. If the email program of your recipient is not "MIME-compliant," then they might see text that looks like this:

See ++++=20 >See ++++ run. Run, ++++, run.=20 See Jane dance.=20 >Dance,.=20 Jane, dance.=20

The solution is to turn off "quoted-printable" encoding for messages that are going to people with older mail programs.

In Eudora, there is a button in the compose mail window marked "QP." Usually it's toggled on. Press it to turn it off. It will stay off until you turn it on again.

Outlook and Outlook Express do not use quoted-printable encoding by default. You can make sure it's not on in Outlook at Tools>Options>Mail Format>Settings. The "Encode text as" item lets you choose none, quoted-printable or base64 encoding. In Outlook Express, the same choices can be found at Tools>Options>Send>Plain Text Settings (under Mail Sending Format).

Will come up with a solution for this for this project. I need you to send more reply emails to the test account with this feature.
