Can I change the default format of the e-mail messages I receive?
By default, Microsoft Outlook will display the e-mail message in the format that the sender selected. You can have Microsoft Outlook automatically display messages that you open in plain text instead. • On the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click Email Security. • Under Read as Plain Text select the Read all standard mail in plain text check box. Forcing a digitally signed message that is not in plain text format to be read in plain text will prevent the digital signature from working. You will be able to read the message, but the process for verifying the signature, knowing who the sender is, and whether or not the message has been altered will not work. To include messages signed with a digital signature, select the Read all digitally signed mail in plain text check box. If you decide you want to view the plain text message in its original format, click the InfoBar, and choose either Display as HTML or Display as Rich Text.
