Right, but apparently it needs <html></html> tags and <body></body> tags
between the CFMail tags. If the content isn't in <HTML></HTML> tags, the
email client won't necessarily recognize it as an HTML document and
therefore won't interpret it as such. That could cause your problem. If the
non-working Outlook clients have different settings that could cause a
problem then too.
I've made HTML messages with CFMail and had them work in Netscape. I know
it can be done. It seems that your message is being interpreted by the
client as plain text, which it will do automatically if it doesn't know
better. If the code is indented (as one would expect of HTML or other code)
this indentation will show up in a plain text email.
