yes, I tried those options before posting my query. They are already set as you suggest and I ought to have mentioned that. I should also make clear that other similar types of 'advisory' emails that I subscribe to appear perfectly formatted, just as in Outlook Express or indeed as in any browser. The only one that does not is this particular thing, called 'vnunet.com Downloads Newsletter for 12 September 2008'. Examining the email body, it starts

I notice that images require a url lookup to the originator, but there is nothing unusual about that. I cannot see why the thing should not display correctly with or without the images. Instead what I get is plain, unformatted html as I have included above.
