The way complex HTML works is that it contains, aside from a plain text
version of the message, a url to a website and a command to access it
somewhere in the headers. If your email client is so equipped to understand
the command, it accesses the website and displays what it finds in your
email window, more-or-less converting it to a web browser for the purpose.
Entourage and OE use the ActiveX Controls in the Extension folder to do
this, I believe.
I don't know whether a mail forward neglects to forward the header
information (which I doubt), or whether it doesn't put it into the expected
header where [other?] email clients look for it but instead lower down
somewhere (most likely), or whether your recipients' email clients expect a
different sort of header or aren't equipped for complex HTML (possible). Can
NO ONE view them?
What happens if you redirect instead of forward? Redirects are meant to send
messages intact.
