I assume these extra <'s are not really present in your resource file.
BTW, the above has no effect. You may want to look at MIMEFILTERS.

This is because the content-type of the message is specified as text/html
which will cause MHonArc invoke the html filter (assuming default settings).

The content-type is probably not defined correctly for the message.

When you print the "Content-type: text/html", it *MUST* be done
when printing the message header. I do not know formmail.pl, but
I would guess you are printing the content-type line in the
wrong location. Check where fields like "To:" and "Subject:" are
being printed, and put the content-type line there.
