Re: Email Problem

I suggest you try sending the message as Plain Text rather than HTML, see if that gets through.
Also it's possible the mail server at the addressee's ISP rejects short messages as possible spam.  You could try sending a longer one.
Finally that ISP might have mail from relays at plus.net on a blacklist - unfortunately this happens from time to time.
