[dba-Tech] More from that reader about automating HTML

Here's the reader's reply -- any idea if this is possible?

Susan H. 



Yes, I just wanted to automate it each time I open a new email. 

(FYI - I looked at trying to set .BodyProperty = olFormatHTML in a
Item_Open function, but my VBA skills are very lacking)

---------

When you click it, does the message display in HTML? 

---------

I have the option to 'Display in HTML' when I click the 'This message
was converted to plain text' menu option, right above the From field.

That means the code still has to be there, right?

-------------

Well, I don't think you can do this unless you have access to the
original HTML message or code. My guess is that Exchange stripes the
text of all HTML code. Without that code, you can't revert. If the HTML
code were still in the message you'd see the tags. 
 
I did ask around and this seems to be the general thought.

Mrs Harkins,

    First off, love your articles - always informative.

    Is there any way to create a macro to automatically convert
emails back to HTML that were auto converted to text format by the
Exchange Server?

    Any help you can provide will be appreciated.  Thanks.
