HTML email

What is going on with HTML based email? Entourage badly renders HTML email and when you forward HTML email it is even worse.

I love using the Mac but I'm totally embarrassed when communicating with colleagues using Entourage. Apple's email client works fine. Outlook on the PC works fine.

I'd flush Entourage down the toilet if I didn't have to integrate with Exchange. Maybe Apple with support Exchange and then I can move over to Apple Mail.

Sigh...

Instead of using Forward, use Forward as Attachment.

Thanks for the quick reply Diane. I see that it works.

Are you with Microsoft? I hope this workaround is not viewed as a solution. It is just a workaround. So now everyone who receives email from me has to go through the extra step of opening an attachment.

While this isn't that hard its the kind of irritating thing that just pisses off the exec types. Microsoft is aware of this right? Something will be done?

You can use "Redirect". That would save opening it, but does not allow you
to add any comments.

I'm not a Microsoft employee. Just a volunteer that was awarded MVP status.

HTML is one of the most controversial and asked for feature. Yes, Microsoft
is aware of this, but if you want to add your voice to the squeaky wheel to
push it even higher on the list, send feedback..

When working in Office, you can use the ³Send Feedback² option under the
