That would certainly explain it. I do have filtering on and I have 
noticed that his hotmail arrives as html only -- no alternatives.

I had convert_html_to_plaintext enabled and thought that would take care 
of things, but upon closer examination I realize I am filtering out the 
text/html before that conversion can take place.

Looks like I need to add "text/html" to the pass_mime_types list.

Thanks very much!
