Yes, this is a problem with Exchange. Exchange strips away the html part when using Exhange as an SMTP server 
and sending to external users. I think
there is a registry setting that can be changed to fix this but I never bothered to use much time to 
investigate. I solved it by using my own SMTP
server when sending emails from my Exchange account...
