the messages I receive are not opening in HTML and I have to manually select
that format to view them in HTML.

Is there a way to set a default so that all messages sent to me in HTML
will automatically open in HTML?

Version of outlook? Do you have outlook set to read all mail as plain text?

HTML messages will always be rendered if you don't have something interfering
with that.

I am using outlook express. Under the email options tab there is a box for
"read all standanrd mail in plain text" I have not marked that box. Is there
another place where I am missing?

When I get an email from, for example Southwest airlines, it is not in HTML
format and the links are not hot. I therefore can not go from that email
directly to the WEB to do something as simple as ask to unsubscribe from
their emails.

Thank you for your help!

I have no idea what it could be with outlook express... unless you have
antivirus scanning incoming mail.

Then you should ask in an Outlook Express newsgroup. This one if for Office
Outlook. That's not the same thing and the two programs are unrelated.
