Hi Cris
I had this same problem, and I think it had something to do with the 
receiver's preferences concerning html-mails. I tried plain groups, 
static lists and pages with FE-users listed. All these - I think this 
was the reason - didn't actually have anywhere an option to "receive 
html-mails". But when I made couple of direct mail subscriptions with 
the html-mail-receiving on, then this new group got my mass-sending in 
html-mode too. So I manually copied all the FE-users in this group (I'm 
sure there must be a better way!) with the html-mail option on and after 
that everybody got their mail in html-format also. I don't know if you 
can force this html-option on; in the configuration of the module 
nothing seemed to helped.
