Email As Html

[anotheoldgit]

I use outlook express, recently I received an email which said,

"We have tried to send you this email as HTML (pictures and words) but it wasn’t possible".

Could anyone please tell me why this action was not possible, is there something that is not activated?

You may have your outlook express settings set as "plain text only".

Emails can be in two formats

- plain text, where it is just that, no colours, fonts, images etc.

- html, where you have colours, fonts, images etc.

Check your settings in outlook express and change them from plain text to "html" (or it may be labelled something else like "enhanced" or whatever)

Thanks for that, I have unticked a box which was entitled 'read messages in plain text', will that work?
