I use mail.app along with earthlink (&.mac)

whenever I forward an HTML email to my wife's work account (they use Windows) it comes out as junk, with (as mail.app puts it) "lots" of attachements (probably 50). Is there any way to fix this?

Are you sending 'Windows friendly' attachments? See Edit...Attachments...

I just tried that, but it doesn't appear to have made a difference. One more thing I noticed is that when I hit forward, the email that I am sending out does not look like the email I received. Whereas everything in the original email I received was nice & compact & ran across the screen horizontally, the one that pops up when I hit forward (or redirect) seems to have each item in it's own section, placed one under the next. It is still readable on my computer, but by the time it makes it to my wife, it is no longer.

No, you're SOL.

Mail.app won't send HTML formatted mail, only plain text or rich text (and that's Apple rich text, which is different than Microsoft rich text). As such, when you get the HTML mail it will format all the graphics, etc. as attachments, and it will look like crap.

Quit using HTML email. It's gnarsty.

or, if you must, use the "redirect" feature.

I think the problem comes in because Mail.app adds things when you forward an email (ie "forwarded by" and indented quotation)

Thanks for the replies. I tried using the redirect feature, but that didn't work either. I have no control over a couple of the emails that I get that are HTML. It's either HTML or nothing.

Does anyone know if entourage works with HTML in an industry standard way?

Yes. Entourage works with HTML. Perhaps that's the best solution -- if you want to forward an HTML mail use Entourage for that purpose.

Thanks again!
