I recently had Qmail installed on my server.

When members sign up to my sites, they receive an HTML confirmation
email.
The HTML email comes out fine (in HTML format) in Yahoo Mail or
Hotmail. However, in Outlook the HTML is converted into TEXT and looks
like this:

Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1

From: Radiopranks Admin <admin@radiopranks.com>


<HTML>

<HEAD>

<TITLE>RadioPranks confirmation</TITLE>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1">

</HEAD>

Also, the FROM and REPLY TO is left BLANK in Outlook.

When I right-click on the email in Outlook and click Options, I see
this (if it helps)
Return-Path: <anonymous@mail.my-internet.info>
Delivered-To: marty_lm@my-internet.info
Received: (qmail 1432 invoked by alias); 23 Nov 2002 18:55:04 -0000
Delivered-To: marty@loudmarketing.com
Received: (qmail 1428 invoked by uid 99); 23 Nov 2002 18:55:04 -0000
Date: 23 Nov 2002 18:55:04 -0000
Message-ID: <20021123185504.1427.qmail@mail.my-internet.info>
To: <marty@loudmarketing.com>
Subject: Your Password to RadioPranks.com
MIME-Version: 1.0 

Some people might say that the Headers are wrong in my script that
send the email, however they are not. Before I had Qmail installed it
was working fine, and I did not change them.

Is it a special setting in the Qmail config that needs to be changed?

Hi pootz,
Was Outlook able to render other HTML emails correctly?  Is this the
only HTML email not rendered correctly in Outlook or are all HTML
emails rendered this way in Outlook?

I receive many HTML emails in Outlook and the display is always fine,
except when it comes from my server (using Qmail).

So my guess is that it must be a setting in Qmail.

I have a friend that installed Qmail also on his servers and he has
the same problem!

I've tried searching Google for an answer and came up to these two
sites that might be useful:
http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/6572/fid/284
http://www.phpbuilder.com/mail/php-db/2001102/0329.php

However these 2 URLs do not exacly describe my problem, but other
similar problems.

Hello pootz,

"HTML is converted into TEXT and looks like this"

Is the text you gave us all the text you see? If not, can you post all
of the text that is visible upon receipt?

Thanks -
SgtCory
