I'd like all my email to come in as text only and not view the rendered
HTML page by default. Using Outlook 2000 and XP Pro, is this possible?

The option to read all mail in Plain Text was not introduced until Outlook
2002.

Brian, I have OL2002 SP3.
i can't find that option to READ all emails in plain text.
can u tell me how to do it?
i'm running OL on desktop machine NOT server.
(i'm wondering if that feature is not server side as opposed to client
side.)

oops.. u must mean this http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=307594 , correct?
do u happen to know HOW it behaves?
i.e. will ALL of my emails be "converted" forever to plain text if i use
this registry fix--losing all formatting w/ no possibility to recover it
ever?
or will the formatting/html come back once I remove the hack?
Tx.

The message is actually stored in all its formatted glory. The hack causes
it to render as plain text. Remove the hack anf you can see it again.
 
great. tx.
