Except for this last symptom a possible explanation would be
security settings which might prevent rendering of an HTML
E-mail which did not have a plain-text equivalent.

Nevertheless you can try getting your browser to render it.
E.g. in WLMail, use its Actions, Forward as attachment
command (e.g. Alt-A,d) and drag the resulting attachment
from the dummy E-mail composition window to an open
browser window.


Good luck
