Greetings all,

I'm using Outlook 2003 on XP Pro.

I regularly received HTML email, usually just a simple table, and need to
convert the mail message to a new task. Unfortunately, when converting the
mail message to a new task (by any means), the HTML table formatting is
killed, and the contents are just dumped to the new task as plain text. Is
there any way to keep this table/html formatting when converting?

Thanks in advance for any assistance,
yootzee
 
Not without writing some fairly complex VBA code to parse the HTML table and render it as text with tabs or extra spaces. You might consider inserting the entire message into the task so you have access to the full content of the original.
