IM or other email programs not capable of producing HTML files................
Mails nowadays can be viewed as web pages, including all of the accessories
found "hanging to dry" on these webpages, like:
wallpaper, pictures, videos, voices, text etc. etc.
It has been mentioned for a few years now, that bare plain text mails are
dying out and are replaced by content html-mails, eg like telexes were once
replaced by faxes, and faxes on their turn replaced by the formerr plain text emails.
Internet Mail (IM) and alikes are therefore old hat programs.
Thus if you use IM's very primitive mail program, eg that came as a free add-on
with the IE2/IE3 programs (eg programs that stem from the early Win95-days),
you will see the 'scrambled' HTML source code instead of the correct file's layout,
code that is required for a file's build up (of the HTML pages).
By now the IE program's freely available versions 4.0 (replacing IM), 4.01 and 5.0
have been around for a while (since 1996/1998).
IE 4.0, 4.01, 5.0 and 5.01 all include the OE xx mail-program (xx = same version ##'s)
a program that is capable to produce and show email-files (.eml) in their full capacity
(including inserted and attached pictures).
IE4.x should also be left for what it is, and upgrading to v5.01 today is free and the
very best solution.
For the very near future, the IE v 5.5 is in the final pre-release RC-beta stages, thus
also forthcoming (RC=release candidate).
