Have you tried sending the email as plain text instead of HTML to see if that works?

Like you said it sounds like an Outlook issue. Can you send the email to another person or check your email from another PC? You could do a repair of the Outlook installation as well.

Hi,

Yes I've tried both 'TEXT' and 'HTML', makes no difference.

I sent the email to a collegue, they did not get the first error but go the second one when trying to print out the meail.

Was it with the "Hello World" message or the message with special characters (the accents)?

The accents are contained in the variable @MessageBody which is returned from a table.

Either way I get the same Outlook error message so it's not down to the data.

Are there other emails being sent via xp_sendmail from that server? If yes, are they ok?

You might want to open up Outlook on the server and see if there any option set to use a different form. You'll probably have to log in using the same account as SQL server to do this.
