e-mail string display

[Guest]

Outlook 2003

This is a shot in the dark, but it's worth it.

I regularly get copied on e-mails from work that have a long string of
replies before them. Some times, I'm only copied towards the end of the
issue and in order to be able to assist... I have to go down to the bottom fo
the e-mail string and start reading from the bottom and work my way up to the
latest e-mail.

So here is my question:
Is there a way to have outlook display an e-mail string in reverse order?
Could I get the oldest e-mail on the string to show up at the top of the
email and then work downwards to the latest one?

Thanks
Juan Correa

Juan,

Have you tried this: in your Inbox, right-click the email, select Find All
from the popup menu, and select Related Messages. The order is defaulted to
latest on top. In reality, Outlook uses the Advanced Find feature to find
all related messages. By clicking on the Received column header, you can
change the order.

Yes I have... this is the most logical solution, but it still involves
opening all those "related messages" individually from the "Find" window.

I was thinking more on the lines of flipping the "body" of the message
upside down so that the oldest message shows on top.

Thanks anyway
Juan
