Re: Question: Mime Message Format Setting

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

The graphics as attachments, etc. indicate that you are using Plain Text
mode. To properly forward an HTML message you need to be working in
HTML mode.

Set this at Tools, Options, Send.

If that is already set to HTML mode, then the issue is that you have
Tools, Options, Read to Read All Messages in Plain Text.
