The most likely cause is that the your emails may contain formatted text, 
which is generally forbidden by most forums for a number of good reasons 
(mainly security-related).  It is not a good practice at the best of times.

The defaults in OE need to be changed to "send plain text only" or some 
similar setting.

Perhaps inadvertently, your messages may contain some element of 
formatting--could be in a signature for example, or even italics.

Send a test to yourself and see if you can detect any part which looks as 
if it might be formatted (ie not plain text).
  Gmail probably doesn't have this option, which would explain why it gets 
through.
