[imp] IMP and HTML mail

[Oliver Zancul Prado]

Hello. I have a newsletter service for psychologists in Brazil. And we 
use a php script to send e-mails. We use both phpmynewsletter (french) 
and phplists to send e-mails to our subscribers.

What happened is that our biggest client instaled IMP in all their 
e-mails accounts and IMP cannot open our mails in HTML format. Instead 
it opens just Text or HTML code.

I dont know what IMP version they are using  but they created a test 
acount for me and no matter what I do, it does not work..... What I know 
is that the IMP version is at least 1 year old

When I send a HTML message from my thunderbird software, IMP displays it 
in HTML ok.

I've made some tests at the IMP demo (demo at demo.hub.org) and the 
situation is even worse!!  The HTML messages from  my thunderbird apears 
like that:

"/There are no parts that can be displayed inline."

/I'm about to go crazy because I cant find a way to fix this problem. 
And we cannot send newsletter from local machine because It can be 
considered as SPAM and also the newsletter php softwares display links 
to the user easily unsibscribe the service.

I have only a clue about how to fix this: CHARSET.  We send messages 
using charset iso-8859-1.

Could we change the charset to another format that IMP can read? But 
this charset must be readable by others webmails and e-mails softwares too.

Regards
