MIME encoding displayed in Mac Mail app when sending HTML email from Entourage

Hello,
I'm trying to send a basic HTML newsletter from Entourage. I changed my account settings to allow for "Content-type" value = "text/html" in Entourage. I sent a test email to a gmail account I have set up in Mac Mail.

I"m seeing 2 issues:
1. When viewing the email through Mac Mail the HTML is displayed, but before and after the HTML page there is a bunch of MIME encoding displayed.
2. When I look at the same email through the web-based gmail, all I see is the HTML code. I was expecting the text to appear and then a message at the top asking me if i wanted to "display images"... but all I see is the code.

How do I fix this? I gotta be missing something.

Snippet of MIME code displayed in Mac Mail App around my HTML:
> This message is in MIME format. Since your mail reader does not understand this format, some or all of this message may not be legible. --B_3300956228_2931419 Content-type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit


Thanks for any help!

Are you bracketing your message with
HTML: 
<html><body>

and

HTML: 
</body></html>

Those tags are usually required for GMail to decode HTML emails.

Yes, the HTML code is fully enclosed within <body> and <html> tags. I can launch the HTML code on any web-browser and it displays correctly...
