Hmps, it appears that the problem it at my end when
converting your HTML email to plain text...

Plain text email really is the best thing to use, look at
how your HTML email looks in the archives...

There are some notes on how to setup Hotmail to send plain
text here:

  * Click on "Compose tab", address the message and fill
    in the "Subject" line

  * Before composing the message, click on "Tools" (next
    to "Copy message to sent folder")

  * Click on "Rich-text editor OFF" to set off

  * NOTE: The toggle is actually counter-intuitive. That
    is, if the drop menu choice says "Rich -Text Editor
    OFF" RTF formatting is on.  When the toggle shows
    "Rich -Text Editor ON" RTF formatting is off.

  * If you receive a pop up message "Are you sure you want
    to do this?" Click "OK" and wait for text formatting
    tools to disappear

  * NOTE: If you are using Netscape, then you will NOT be
    given the the choice to turn ON/OFF RTF formatting.
    Messages will be sent in plain text format.

  * Compose your plain text message

  * Send your plain text message
