Yes. You are using an inappropriate format for the medium. E-mail is basically a
plain-text medium. It has facilities for attching other
files, and there are some extensions for inclusions. Those extensions are not
portable.
What you see above is good RTF, as far as I can tell. The content-type, though,
should not say text. Although the portability of RTF comes
largely from its use of plain text in its control sequences, it is more an application
fromat than text. Those tags must be interpreted to
display the document properly.
Why not just attach formatted documents. It is much less rude.
Also, you should be aware that attempts to mimic the look and feel of Outlook mail may
get you messages tagged as spam or potential viruses.
