HTML in Outlook Express
Sounds like you're reading it in "text only" mode. Try swapping the format
to "Rich Text (HTML)" rather than "Plain Text". Also you might be better off asking the OE newsgroup. "jackl" wrote in message ... I have a newsletter in Outlook Express in HTML format. Try as I may I cannot decode it Please help |

Save this as somename.htm You may need to put the file name including .htm in quotes ("filename.htm") to force .htm into replacing the default .txt extension. Double click the file and Internet Explorer (or your default browser) should open the file to display the content in html fashion. If your default browser is not IE and it balks at this - open IE and use File Open to select your saved .htm file. I get promo mail from two companies written in html format similar (same?) as you describe. It is displayed as plain text with no option to convert to html view. If there's an interesting deal, I use the above steps so that's easier to read about it. Works for me... -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User |

HTML in Outlook Express
If his file extensions are hidden [the default] it is
possible the format is .pub or some other desktop program. He should unhide the extension and find out what program was used to create the newsletter or he can contact the newsletter author for guidance.

If the newsletter is an attachment, yes and that's a very good point. Thanks for bringing it up. -- Sharon F MS-MVP ~ Windows Shell/User |
