Hi guys,
Here is what I would like to do:

In outlook, suppose I get a message in plan text format.
I would like to open the email, and maybe make some sentences bold and colored.
and then I can save it. Hence after sometime the email will be noticable for me.
Now, I can do this if the e-mail is sent in html format cause then I open the
message and then I press "edit message" and the edit toolbar becomes
usable and I do things on the email.

However, if the email is sent in "plain text" format, I can not edit the email at all.
I try to push the "edit message" button (under edit in main toolbar)
but it is dimmed and can not be pushed.
Hence I can not edit the email.

Now naturally my question is: Do I do something wrong or
cant I edit emails sent in plain text format?

Click to expand...

I just tried editing a Plain Text messages and I was able to change it just
fine. I opened it by double-clicking it, Clicked Edit>Edit Message, then
Format>HTML, then I had to click Edit>Edit Message again in order to enable
the Formatting Toolbar so I could change the text color.
