She is the only recipient of mine to have this problem, mine are the only mails that arrive this way to her.
So is the problem my end or hers?
Those are my stars where her name would be in this short section.
When faced with two choices, simply toss a coin. It works not because it settles the question for you. But because in that brief moment while the coin is in the air. You suddenly know what you are hoping for.

Since (without going through every single one) others receive my mail "normally" can somehow one email address in my address book have different settings from all the others?
If so is it worth deleting my daughters address and beginning again with hopefully what are the standard settings as used in the other addresses, or is a reset simply going to pick-up the last known settings, assuming the "fault" is my end of course.
I will though try the plain text you suggest, it takes some time to find out though because of the time differences and my daughter doesn't live and die at her PC.

You'll probably find that most of your other contacts use a client which will show both plain text and HTML email correctly, whereas your daughter's is setup to only show as plain text (as you can do with webmail)
Also, depending on which client you use, if it is only sending the HTML and not sending the plain text too, that will be why you daughter sees the html as text.

I have also exchanged around 20 test mails with friends and other family in my usual "HTML rich text" none of which has had any problems.
Does that prove anything to the boffins here please?

If a mod wants to delete this and the previous post that would tidy things up
