Verizon.net email format

[MDJ52]

I recently installed Verizon DSL and use their .net to handle my email.
What has suddenly happened is that the email I receive comes across with an HTML type format.
Below is an example:
************************************
<?fontfamily><?param Verdana><?smaller><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>A new format for email.� 

<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily><?fontfamily><?param Verdana><?smaller><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>that works for me just fine,

<?/x-tad-smaller><?/smaller><?/smaller><?/fontfamily><?fontfamily><?param Verdana><?smaller><?smaller><?x-tad-smaller>But does not work for you.

************************************
This is just a sampling of an email.
When I try to forward this to other people, they get the format/layout fields also.
Do I need to change a default format in some way?

Thanks

try checking your email preferences @ verizon.net webmail & see if you have html email enabled.
