Paris,

That is a function of the email client that you use on your computer.  
For some reason, yours is not recognizing the mail messages as being  
in html format. Have you checked the settings (preferences) for your  
email software? How about the on line help, if any, for your email  
software?

My email client, Mail on Macintosh OS X, normally displays html  
messages just fine. However, periodically one shows up that somehow  
has gotten messed up so that my mail program does not recognize it as  
html formatting. I have suspected that in those cases, either the  
sender's internet provider, or mine, have messed up the format  
somehow. I suppose it is possible that you are having the same issue.
