There is. When you hit Forward, you're telling Entourage to recompose the
message in its own HTML creation engine. However, that engine is far from
efficient, which is why the result is very poor. To bypass this mechanism,
select a message, then click on Message>Forward as Attachment; that way,
Entourage will attach the message and leave the source code intact.


Yes, I saw this same fix somewhere else. However, is there any way
then, once the email has been attached, to have the email go out such
that the attachment is "encoded" -- I guess that's the word -- and the
email shows up at the other end displayed rather than with just an
attached file? I realize I can just type in text that says "see
attachment," but I've noticed that in Entourage attached images are
often displayed after whatever text has been typed in (but curiously,
not always).

Or, is this a client-side issue? I've looked for some setting to force
it to display attached images or html in the email body, but didn't
find anything.

It is a client-side issue. The e-mail client will decide if it can display
..eml messages inline; if it can't, it will show them as attachments. I
believe both Entourage and Apple Mail can display .eml attachments inline.

Finally, will Entourage with the new Office Mac (2008?) have this
resolved so it handles html like almost all other email clients do,
now?

Microsoft has not released any specific information about this, so you'll
need to wait either for an official announcement or the release of Office
2008 in January.
