Outlook Express, by default or setting, usually sends the message in
both HTML and plain text. If you look at the raw email message you will
find the plain text and then an attachment with the HTML. Most email
readers will display the HTML and ignore the text.

The DJML is set up to strip off all attachments. So for Outlook
Express you will just get the text passed through and no HTML.

You can change OE so it only sends the plain text or only sends
the HTML. For DJML it should be set to only send the plain text.
This then avoids any possible errors.

Walla seems to have no option to send the plain text bit. It does
everything in the HTML attachment. So when that gets stripped off
you are left with nothing.

There doesn't seem to be any way to contact Walla and complain. So
other than changing email provider, I don't know what Marek's
options are.
