Outlook 2010 some emails appearing as plain text rather than html

Question

In Outlook 2010, when I recieve email from certain users, eg. mac/linux they are in plain text format. I want to force my outlook to always use html when replying (I know that their mail client can handle it) Is there anyway to do this?

thanks,

Alistair

Answer 1

You can purchase an add-in Bells & Whistles http://www.emailaddressmanager.com/outlook-bells.html. The feature is described here. http://www.msoutlook.info/question/628

You can try a little VBA http://www.outlook-tips.net/code-samples/always-reply-using-html-code-sample/

Answer 2

There isn't one. Outlook always replies/forwards in the format of the original message. This is to stop you replying in HTML to someone whose email client only understands Plain Text.
