They were a major release out of date, so I upgrade from Skype 4.0.0.226 to 5.0.0.152 and made sure the only extension was 5.0.0.6778 (instead of the old 2.x version I had). Html started correctly displaying in Skype format and, when I turned off that display mode, the html displayed correctly. I really appreciate everyone's help and suggestions and am grateful that it ended up turning out to be something relatively easy on my end. Paul
