Sending HTML emails using Entourage, Mime format error when receivedin Entourage

[milmine]

I am doing a email blast, not spam but to all of our customers. I
have downloaded the script for "sending complex html" for entourage.
I thought initially that this was it and I would have no problems. I
sent this email to my own hotmail, gmail accounts, they both looked
great. I also sent it to the president of my company who is running
outlook, also looked great. But when i sent it to myself and my Art
Director (both running entourage on a mac) we got the dreaded Mime
format error.

This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3306998973_611112 Content-type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

after this is the body of the email in text format followed but a
table of my html with pictures missing. Then this at the bottom.

--B_3306998973_611112--

I went to my gmail which can read the file fine, and forwarded it back
to my entourage account. When I do this entourage reads it fine and
it looks great.

My problem is when I send it to our customers using entourage they
won't see the message as it was intended.

Any help on this would be a great help thanks

As you know Entourage is not strong with complex HTML. I suggest you look at
some of the third party applications. I'm not sure which is better with
HTML. Most have a demo you can try.
