Although I send HTML newsletters for a social club, I've only just had to get ready to sending them (from the web mail server)for my company. I use Outlook 2003 as my email handler - and the test newsletters work in them no problem (as they do in hotmail, gmail, and Thunderbird).BUT in Outlook 2007, in a colleagues PC, although they work fine when opened, the preview window shows the html code, not the render.

Anyway of making the render OK in Outlook 2007 preview?

Looking at a screen shot of the Outlook 2007 screenshot, it is the hyperlink coding that is showing in the preview pane - not the full HTML Coding. I'd be grateful for a steer on this one.

Outlook 2007 uses the Word engine for rendering HTML, not IE. These articles might help:
