I remember having a similar problem a few months ago with kmail, and after a 
lot of digging around for information, it turned out to be kmail chose the 
wrong character encoding when replying to certain messages, and then Outlook 
completely ignored the contents.

I think it was in [settings] [appearance] [message window tab] "fallback 
character encoding" being set to some weird character set. And it 
just 'happened', I don't think I changed anything to cause it. Mind you, I 
could be wrong about that :-)

If your friend can (in Outlook) change the properties/character encoding of 
the messages you sent, he should be able to read them.
