It is such an obvious con. Its yet another deliberate flaw and one Microsoft do not intend to fix until someone (like me) finds them out. Microsoft claim that even after 2 years, they still cannot replicate this error - thats because they wont install Thunderbird or Lotus Notes to do it. It cannot be replicated by sending email from Outlook. This issue goes to the heart of the paranoid hostility Microsoft shows towards any company that dares to threaten its market position. Simply put, in some email clients such as Thunderbird and Lotus Notes, if the TO: field of an email is left blank (by using BCC) the senders email client auto-populates the otherwise blank TO: field with the malformed email address "undiscosed-recipients:;" prior to sending the email. This is technically a fault with the senders email client. The MIME decoding in Vista (used by Outlook 2003) has been changed since XP to reject this and in a manner Outlook 2003 does not expect. Outlook then simply assumes the email is in plain text ie - not MIME format. The fix is to ask your Thunderbird or Lotus Notes user sending the BCC email to populate the TO field with their own email address. Tell them that if they leave TO: blank when sending using BCC, all Outlook/Vista recipients wont be able to read thier email. That's usually enough. Word I have from the inside is that Microsoft will continue to try to dishonestly claim they cannot replicate this fault because they do not want to fix it. They deliberately introduced the fault in Vista as a ploy to get Outlook 2003 users to upgrade to Outlook 2005 (etc). They believe its subtle enough that it wont be put down to any deliberate act by them. Using these sorts of unethical ploys and scams are the same way Microsoft have been conning people for the last 30 years to make Bill Gates and his cronies obscenely and filthy stinking rich. They just put a few little bugs here and there to annoy the living *** out of you, and then say "hey look - its fixed in the new version!". People buy it because they have no choice - like drug addicts to a drug dealer they just keep going back again and again and again. Wake up to it ! Demonstrate your dissatisfaction and demand tha Microsoft fix Outlook 2003 in Vista and they be prosecuted by Federal authorities over this for a monumental fraud. jimb on "Outlook and Mime format" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/outlook-and-mime-format#post-36703 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 18:11:43 +0000 jimb 36703@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ The problem seems to be fixed. I don't seem to have the problem any more. dbdb on "Outlook and Mime format" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/outlook-and-mime-format#post-33409 Sun, 06 Jul 2008 22:36:36 +0000 dbdb 33409@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ The html setting is for outgoing email and doesn't seem to be relevant. I have exactly this problem after moving Outlook 2003 to Vista. The problem is confusingly identified in this forum, actually the issue is that mime format messages are not being displayed, not that ordinary messages are being displayed in mime format. This is often revealed in the lines and lines of header text in the message e.g. "This is a MIME-formatted message. If you see this text it means that your E-mail software does not support MIME-formatted messages." I have checked all my Outlook settings in vista against those in XP where I did not have the problem, they are exactly the same. I conculude it is a microsoft screwup. Even more odd is that if you actually intercept the message on the web e.g. at your ISPS mail web page, and forward it to yourself, then download all messages into outlook, you get the orginal one screwed up and the forwarded one works fine. This indicates to me it is microsoft singling out other email software (Eudora are the ones I have seen affected by it) for deliberate discrimination. Like they still do to Adobe, allegedly.

Doesn't help. Something in Vista I think is causing it. My messages often look the same as above in Outlook but they display fine in Webmail or Thunderbird.. sjunkert on "Outlook and Mime format" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/outlook-and-mime-format#post-31031 Thu, 26 Jun 2008 19:33:36 +0000 sjunkert 31031@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ I just tried the steps mentioned above and the emails don't change. This only happens with emails from one person. Any other suggestions?

this same problem ever since going on Vista. Never had the problem before. I have SP1 loaded for Vista as well as being up-to-date on Office and still have the issue. Seems to be messages from some Apple computers and Thurderbird clients. After header and message content, I get a content-transfer-encoding: 7BIT with formating all through the message body. Also, if pictures/images included I get pages (2300 in the one I am looking at) of code. If I review message on webmail or Thunderbird, message is fine. It is just Outlook 2003, SP3, that it is messed up. jim b smchamilton on "Outlook and Mime format" http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/topic/outlook-and-mime-format#post-24025 Mon, 12 May 2008 15:03:12 +0000 smchamilton 24025@http://www.howtogeek.com/forum/ I have this same issue with MIME e-mails and someone suggested it may be a bug in Vista.

You can try downloading all the latest updates for Office 2003 to see if it helps. The latest Service Pack (SP3) is at <a rel=nofollow href='http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E25B7049-3E13-433B-B9D2-5E3C1132F206&displaylang=en'>http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=E25B7049-3E13-433B-B9D2-5E3C1132F206&displaylang=en</a> You can also goto Microsoft Update at <a rel=nofollow href='http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate'>http://update.microsoft.com/microsoftupdate</a> It's just like Windows Update only it also updates Office and other Microsoft products, you can get SP3 and any other available Office updates there.
