Looks fine in my Kmail. I would suspect that your receiver has something unusual going on. If you are really concerned that the problem is a setting on your end (defaults should be perfectly fine and all e-mail programs, including Outlook and OE should show proper formatting) you can always backup (be sure to export your address book to a file so that you won't lose it!) and then delete your /home/username/.kde (the .kde is hidden--you need to check "show hidden files" under the View section of the toolbar in Konq). This will destroy all of your .kde user configuration files, including Kmail, and you will need to re-configure it from scratch the next time you open kde and then Kmail. I've had Kmail mess up a couple of times over the years, and have been forced to do this, but it is a last resort. One test is to create a new User, then make a Kmail account for the User and configure your smtp and POP3, leaving all other settings at the default. Send a message as your new User, and see if the problem persists. If it does, it is probably the receiver's mail program. If everything is hunky-dory with the new User, it is your user settings or a problem in your .kde. Try making your user settings the same as your new User first, then move to the last resort. e.
