I'm trying to send an HTML table into outlook email through the python exchangelib package. However, when the email is received on the delivery end it is showing HTML contents as plain text. What must be the reason for this? How we can set up the MIME version and content type in exchangelib.

It would be greatly appreciated if someone could identify why it is not rendering as we required in the email. Kindly provide me a suggestion on how to implement mime & content-type in exchangelib
