Forcing Outlook to reply to HTML emails using plain text format
Currently, when I use Outlook to respond to an email written in HTML format,
the reply is also in HTML format. I understand that I can use FormatPlain Text to change the format of the message to text, and that I can set a preference in ToolsOptions to write new messages in HTML format. However, I want *all* my emails to be in text format, not just the ones I initiate. I understand that Outlook's spellchecker cannot overlook spelling mistakes in quoted material in plain text messages, and that plain text format does not support formatting, embedding, and other features. Nevertheless, I want *all* the messages I send to be in plain text format, *without* *any* *exceptions.* I currently use FormatPlain Text, but there's no reason that Outlook should assume that I want replies to HTML messages to be in HTML, as I've already specified that I want to use plain text format for my messages. How do I force Outlook to use plain text format all the time? |

Both Outlook 2002 and 2003 support a setting that forces you to read all
incoming messages in plain text, which means all the replies will be in plain text, too. Otherwise, there's no built-in feature to do what you describe. -- Sue Mosher, Outlook MVP Author of Microsoft Outlook Programming - Jumpstart for Administrators, Power Users, and Developers http://www.outlookcode.com/jumpstart.aspx "none" wrote in message news Currently, when I use Outlook to respond to an email written in HTML format, the reply is also in HTML format.
