Dan,

   Try changing your word length to about 72 characters. It is really a 
bitch to have to scroll left and right to just read what has been 
posted. I know Linux can handle it and I am sure that Windows can also. 
FWIW, Linux can handle html emails just fine. Perhaps the distro he is 
using has set the client to no show html email. He never mentioned what 
Linux distro or email client that he was using.  Perhaps if he would of 
mentioned what he was using, someone could of given him a more precise 
answer. Sending html email is just a bad idea for so many reasons, here 
are a few that will explain it

If that isn't reason enough, even some major ISP's mark html as spam. I 
have also have my email servers set up to mark them as spam.  HTML email 
take up lots of bandwidth, I am sure those that are on dialup will 
appreciate it if one just sent plain text emails.

If one really wants to make sure that their email goes through send it 
in plain text.  If one must display pictures or have html, than build a 
website to display that stuff and send the person a link to it.
