How get Outlook to Forward in HTML?
When I forward a message that has a link, the new message is in "text only"
format. How can I get it to "forward" in HTML? Thanks, Steve (XP Pro SP2, Office 2007) |

If the original message was in Plain Text, Outlook will always format a reply or forward in Plain Text. It uses the format of the original message. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |

How get Outlook to Forward in HTML?
Thanks Diane and Brian.
No it does not happen with every email forwarded, but if I recieve an email with a working hyperlinklink (colored and underlined) and try to forward it, the link turns into regular text (de-activated). I am in "Inbox", in a personal folder. Is this an Outlook security setting, or do you have any ideas? I use Outlook 2007 (part of Office 2007) "Brian Tillman" wrote in message ...

. .. When I forward a message that has a link, the new message is in "text only" format. How can I get it to "forward" in HTML? (XP Pro SP2, Office 2007) The underlining and coloring are simply your e-mail client parsing out what it *thinks* are URLs and then makes them clickable within that e-mail client. They never did have those special attributes. That is how the e-mail client SHOWED them to you. The e-mail you got was all plain text. There was no underlining or coloring in the actual message. Plain-text messages don't have that extra encoding for special formatting. They are, well, just plain text. It doesn't matter that they don't show underlined and colored in a forward or a reply or even when you compose a new e-mail. Whether or not those strings that represent URLs show up as underlined and colored as viewed by the recipient will depend entirely on what e-mail client the recipient uses. Not all e-mail clients go parsing through an e-mail looking for what looks like URLs to then make them underlined, colored, and clickable. Those are not attributes within the content of the e-mail. That is how the e-mail *client* decided to present them visually. |
