Hi the

I recently moved over to Outlook from Outlook Express. The version of Outlook I 'own' is Outlook XP/2002 which I have running on Windows XP.

In Outlook Express I could choose to read all my email in plain text. If I wanted, I could choose to display the HTML in an HTML-formatted email by pressing ALT+SHIFT+H.

I've read the MS knowledgebase article that explains how to read all my email in plain text in Outlook 2002. But is there a similar keyboard combination or some other way that I can choose to see the HTML?

Daddy

No, you can't quickly convert to HTML using Outlook 2002.

Chilton preview will display the messages in plain text in preview and allow
you to open them to read as HTML

Well, whaddaya know...

Your website has already paid dividends to me! I was looking at the Attachment Options add-in referenced on the website - which I installed - and guess what it includes? An option to "Read all email as Plain Text". Not the same as OE's toggle, but now I don't have to go mucking around in the registry, which I try to avoid.

Thanks again.
