If you are pasting source thats exactly what will happen.  You have to
copy from a browser view, as I described.

You can expect this to be the norm if the email has styles attached or
linked to it, at the very least.  Those styles can often conflict with
web mail's styles and make bad things happen.  Whoever designs the
mailer has to do it using styles that are named so that they will not
conflict with any web mail client that is reading them and has its own
style sheet.

So basically, you can expect this problem to not go away unless he web
mail system is redesigned so that the message window is a
self-contained entity in a frame or somesuch, with no styles applied
to that template.

For your testing purposes, I'm not aware of any simple way to put what
would ordinarily be html head info (i.e. styles) into a client like
Outlook.  My clients (large associations... no spammers) do it with a
specialized mailer tool that I built.  I can tell you how to do it in
ColdFusion fairly easily.
