I think this is the problem, with some images and text setting as
<DIV>...</DIV>, align=xxx, and table background color. Because of that I
can't advice my customers to use Evolution instead Thunderbird even if
it's slower than Evolution but the HTML display is the same as most of
browsers, not only MSIE.

I developed on Hylafax HTML mail to receive faxes but even this basic
HTLM mail is not correctly displayed...

I tryed to send some examples of wrong display to the Evolution list but
the attached images are deleted from the mail by the list manager :-(

I don't understand if this problem is known why is not fixed...

Thanks for your reply.

Sam.
