Convert received plain text emails to HTML

[Guest]

I know that I can automatically convert all received e-mails to plain text,
but isn't there a way to convert all received (plain text) e-mails to HTML?
I'm really sick of having to reply in plain text unless I change it by hand
every single time. Thanks.

Why do you want to force your preferred text format on someone who obviously prefers plain text, let alone those who can't read anything EXCEPT plain text?

They can read HTML. In at least one case, they compose in HTML, and for
whatever reason it converts to plain text (I have the option unchecked in my
Outlook, so maybe it's something on the other end).

Aloha TheBigCheese,

Have you tried asking them to compose to you in HTML?

I'm pretty sure that at least one of them does compose in HTML, it just
somehow gets converted on their end. Is there any way to have my Outlook
convert those to HTML?

Aloha TheBigCheese,

You could probably write some VB code that automatically forces your editor
into HTML format when you reply regardless of the original format.

Hello,

You can use an add-in that will convert any email you reply, to a format
that wish to use (HTML in your case) so you won't have to change it
manually. An example of an add-in that can do that is Bells & Whistles for
Outlook. You can find it at this link:
