Read Outlook Express Messages in Plain Text

Posted on March 18th, 2009 in Email, PC/Internet Security by admin

You will notice that all of your messages that come through in Outlook Express are in a html format, so it can look ‘pretty’ with colors, borders, fonts etc.

This ‘pretty’ look is great if you always know who the sender is (even then they can forward dodgy stuff), but you can recieve malicious emails through the html code.

The best way I believe (unless you have some awesome security) to safeguard your Outlook Express messages is to just get them in a plain text format, to do this just;

  • Open Outlook Express
  • Click tools
  • Select options
  • Select the read tab
  • Check read all messages in plain text
  • OK, done
