It is possible that you are going through an Exchange server which is
resetting the format to Rich Text Format (RTF). I don't know why some
businesses set up their servers that way.

anyone know how to resolve this issue?
thanks to all replies

If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook
Express will have problems with it. Change your format in Outlook to
plain
text. If you don't know how to do that ask in an Outlook newsgroup.
