How do I receive HTML in Outlook

[Mike Shrout]

I currently received messages in plain text. When I
receive messages sent in HTML with linkes to web pages,
it is very confusing as to which link to click on as
there may be 20 links or more. I have gone to the mail
format option but the HTML check box is grayed out.
Thanks
Mike

Mail comes into Outlook in HTML by default, so have you installed a
plugin like HTML zapper or check the read all mail in plain text
option in O2K3?

Ok, I believe I did check a box at one time to read mail
in plain text format. But since it is a problem I would
like to change back. I cannot find the box you mentioned
to uncheck. I have looked everwhere but cannot locate
it. Do you have a suggestion.
Thanks

text i believe.

I tried your suggestion and that option is no where to be
found. Very frustrating to say the least. It should be
easier than this. Thanks Microsoft for making it
difficult.

Ah well, my instructions were for 2003. Perhaps the following change
was made? http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307594
