Hi,

I have a problem with my Outlook XP. I am using Outlook XP with SP2
installed and using Word as my email editor.

My problem is that when my emails are received by a 2000 or XP version of
Outlook, all text is displayed correctly, but when a version 97 receives my
mail then the font is changing mid sentence and extra blank lines are being
added. The whole email look a complete mess. I know 97 only uses text and
not HTML so something must be wrong with the way 97 removes the HTML tags.

Has anyone had this problem or know of a fix?


TIA Mark
 
It is not so much that Outlook 97 does not use HTML, it does not UNDERSTAND
HTML - it cannot handle any of the HTML period - it is HTML unaware.
