I had this problem too. Two ISP in particular, ATTGlobal and "egghead" - not only did they not get my text but I couldn't get theirs. I was using HTML, changed to MS Rich Text and finally found it all worked using plain text, (Tools, options, format in Outlook). One other way round was to type the message in Word, make it a Word attachment then send the message in any format, (adress and subject), with the attachment inserted.
Best of luck.
