hi Uday, when I use capital Z to forward to gmail, I get (in gmail) an
option to "view as text", which is not a pretty sight, or to download,
which does lead to a properly formatted html file. But I would have
expected to just see the forwarded html message in gmail without
having to download it first. do you see something else when
forwarding this specific message to gmail? best, Eli
