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

Yes, it should be in Options/Mail Format. In there (in 2003 anyway) is a
menu to choose whether you want to see it in HTML, Rich Text or Plain Text.
Play with thsoe settings and it should work.

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.
