Sending HTML emails using Entourage, Mime format error when received in Entourage

[mil...@gmail.com]

I am doing a email blast, not spam but to all of our customers. I
have downloaded the script for "sending complex html" for entourage.
I thought initially that this was it and I would have no problems. I
sent this email to my own hotmail, gmail accounts, they both looked
great. I also sent it to the president of my company who is running
outlook, also looked great. But when i sent it to myself and my Art
Director (both running entourage on a mac) we got the dreaded Mime
format error.

> This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3306998973_611112 Content-type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable

after this is the body of the email in text format followed but a
table of my html with pictures missing. Then this at the bottom.

--B_3306998973_611112--

I went to my gmail which can read the file fine, and forwarded it back
to my entourage account. When I do this entourage reads it fine and
it looks great.

My problem is when I send it to our customers using entourage they
won't see the message as it was intended.

Any help on this would be a great help thanks

As you know Entourage is not strong with complex HTML. I suggest you look at
some of the third party applications. I'm not sure which is better with
HTML. Most have a demo you can try.
