That's because it interprets all the code it puts into your mail....

when someone using a program that doesn't, they get all the tags and it's
very jumbled and hard to read.  I don't know about Outlook, but most programs
should have a way to turn this off.  A good one will be able to establish
various "rules", such as "turn it off when sending to BOC-L".  After all,
those
extra tags make it look nice but take up more bandwidth, and are unecessary to
get your point across.  (in fact, I installed a newer version of eudora
that did
interpret them and didn't like it, because some people would use HUGE fonts
and
stuff and now I mostly use the older one.  I had to use the new one to read
this
message, though, as I usually don't bother.

Anyways, it's up to you.  A good number of people can't or won't read what
you say
if you send it in html.
