No client control over the message format!
I'm trying to figure out how to gain flexibility when reading a message in Outlook 2003. Some messages come in as HTML, which aren't previewable, and sometimes do not print correctly, so I'd like to change the message format to plain text. When I go into FORMAT, all options are greyed out. Is this a permissions setting somewhere that would make these options unavailable to the user?
Thanks,
Damian

That's great. Now, the only thing is what if I need to read the message in HTML, as an exception. Can I change that specific email back to HTML?

Damian,
You can use the same procedure above to change view back to HTML.

I see. Any idea what the format menu inside the email message is for? It looks as though it was designed to change the format on the fly for the message being read, but it's greyed out on all of my client machines.
