HTML question really - please re post if necessary

Apologies this is slightly off topic and this is probably the closest forum :

Need some input on the following prob:

I am using FM to send HTML emails using Outlook Manipulator (which all works fine)

except for one teeny weeny (major) hitch...

when it goes into Outlooks HTML body text field for an e-mail - Outlook is ignoring (actually stripping out) all the curly brackets "{}" which stops recognition of all the styles - is this something to do with the char set - any pointers please

For reference:

The HTML doc includes styles defined within "style" tags within the "head" section

The top section of the doc is as follows:

/p>

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

p {margin:0cm;font-size:10pt;font-family:"Verdana","Times New Roman","serif";}

etc

which all works in Dreamweaver and in Filemakers web viewer - just stops when it is sent by outlook

Any help/pointers gratefully received

Cheers

Simon
