Outlook should let me set HTML options in Junk Email folder

[Guest]

Recent updates have become overprotective causing inconvenience. While it is
desirable for incoming messages to be filtered into Junk Email folder, there
should be a way to set Junk Email to allow global HTML format without having
to cue each message. Another problem is when there is friendly mail
containing database files such as *.mdb. These files are automatically
blocked but should have the option be allowed on a per user setting. Trying
to share Access files is a problem.

Zip the MDB files. With regards to the HTML in the junk mail folder I
believe Outlook is protecting you from both potentially offensive content
and web beacons.

Junk folder: if they aren't junk, mark them as such and read from the
inbox - if they are junk, why do you want to see the HTML rendered? it's
safer (for several reasons) to read junk as plain text and if it's not junk,
trust the sender and move the message to the inbox.

The point is that email by it's nature should automatically be quarantine
with the option to release. Right now, at least with Outlook, you have to
fanagle your work causing unnecessary time consuming reviews of each email
message. Most junk mail is harmless and I certainly don't want to start
mixing ads with my work files. There are some ads which I want to review but
can only determine if HTML is turned on. I have built in email scanning
that prevents known viruses, trojens and supicious files. Microsoft sets
arbitrary rules which in some cases should have user options especially when
there is third party software which can deal with some issues better. As far
as *.mdb & *.exe files, I just need to educate my associates to zip the files
before sending. I do agree these can be dangerous when sent from an unknown
source.

it takes one simple click in a split second to enable HTML on the messages
you want to read. Increased safety is well worth the trouble... and yes, I
do exactly that. I also do not allow any images to be downloaded, even from
trusted senders. I much prefer showing the images if I want rather than all
the time and the split second per message is not excessive 'fanagling'.

Thanks so much for your input. It is appreciated.
I think you hit the nail on the head when you state "I much prefer" - which
was the original point of my initial message. While I don't agree that
messages can be handled efficiently in my case and I could elaborate with
legitimate arguments as to why I want the choice, the issue is that I don't
have that choice. Certainly Microsoft could embed appropriate warnings for
not making a specific setting as they already do in other areas of the
program. For the time being I've created my own workaround. I don't know if
there is another email program that offers the same integration as Outlook
allowing me to determine what settings I make but I will be on the lookout.
