why some mails are like this.
help me to solave this problem.

... bunch of html...

My guess would be that they're sending HTML mail only with no text/plain
part and you have the Display Option "Show HTML Version by Default" set
to no.


Not always. Using 1.4.2 with html version shown by default, here are some recent headers --
*Content-Type:* text/html; charset=us-ascii


What do you mean not always? This email is exactly what Marc guessed -- html only.

Mark's guess was a 2 parter -- html-only, *and* show html default set to no.


Actually Ean hammered it, and nailed the answer -- "SM requires the 'MIME-Version: 1.0' header"

That's good to know and I appreciate it. I have not been putting this header into PHP generated mail, and never knew there was a problem 'till I got to playing with the squirrel. I guess I'll add this header to any future PHP generated email.

As a sidebar, when replying to an html mail, squirrel converts it back to plain text. I wonder why? You can read html with squirrel, you can compose html with squirrel, but you can't reply to it without losing all formatting. And any links are just completely lost, not even appearing in plain text.

Thanks again.
