Incoming e-mail

[Brian McQueen]

Since installing Office 2003 SP2 two days ago my imcoming mail is
automatically converted to plain text.

How do I display incoming mail and stored mail in HTML format permanently
and not have to click on header to diplay view option?

That should only be for items in the Junk Mail folder (at least as far as
I've seen). There is an option to read all mail as Plain Text here, though:
Tools menu > Options > Email. See if it's checked for you

I have a simailar problem the source sends in HTML but on a single outlook
2003 account on a Vista Basic Machine it converts to plain text. Any Ideas?

I am running Win XP most of my e-mail arrives in HTML which is what I want.
However, some will arrive in my inbox in plain text. I have a junk mail
folder and everything there comes in plain text. Sometimes e-mail from people
in my contacts list wiil arrive in plain text. What is the fix? I would like
all my e-mail from whomever to come in HTML If it's in my in box I want it in
HTML.

PS can I just stick the MS Office 2007 CD and hit install without deleting
the program fist? Hence fixing any corrupted files. This problem didn't
occur when I initially loaded the program it just stated to rear it's ugly
head. I ran diagnostics no issues.

Umm if I decide to send you an email in plain text, then you will get it in
plain text. See?

The sender, not the recipient, controls the message format on e-mail.
