I can't seem to figure out this problem.
I'm working on moving a listserver (Lsoft listserv) from one server to
another. The only difference between the 2 servers is that one is running
Windows NT 4.0 while the other is running Windows 2000. Everything else has
been configured exactly the same.
However, when I send myself a test message from both the listservers, the
email sent to the new listserver garbles the message while a message sent
through the old listserver reaches me in the proper format 

Here is what the message looks like when sent through the new listserver:

NEW LISTSERVER BODY (Note that the MIME information is in the body of the
message)

Here is the header information on the message above

However, through the old listserver, the emails reach me in the right format
and are perfectly legible.
Here is header from one of the emails sent via the old listserver. Note the
MIME information is in the header of the message here.

In the former case, the information about the MIME headers were included in
the body of the message itself.
While in the case of the latter, the information about the MIME headers are
included in the header of the message and is correctly interpreted by the
mail client.

Is this an Exchange or an Outlook problem coz I'm told that the Lsoft
listserver has no way of altering or formatting the message ?

In Yahoo I am able to read the message fine but since this is a listserver I
would like the message to be compatible universally.

Please advise.
Thanks

P.S. I'm running Exchange 5.5. Server and Outlook XP / 2000 as my clients
