MS Office Forum / Outlook / General MS Outlook Questions / August 2007How do I view blank plain text emails
I have installed outlook 2007 and seem to receive all plain text emails as a blank message - save the hyperlinks in blue - all the text is blank. All html messages come through ok. How can I rectify the problem? Check your encoding settings in the blank email. Switch it to another encoding and see if it shows up. Plain Text would not have any blue hyperlinks. Plain text is just that--all black text. Reformat the email to plain text by selecting Edit Message. > I have installed outlook 2007 and seem to receive all plain text emails as a > blank message - save the hyperlinks in blue - all the text is blank. > > All html messages come through ok. > > How can I rectify the problem? > Plain Text would not have any blue hyperlinks. > Plain text is just that--all black text.

Except for one consideration: Outlook "wants" to be nice to you and automatically searches the bodies of incoming messages looking for what it considers hyperlinks and, even in Plain Text messages, it will color them for you. Just because the message itself doesn't contain formatting doesn't mean that Outlook can't display formatting for you that it itself supplies. I suspect a font color problem, myself. The OP should click Tools>Options>Mail Format and examine the Fonts settings for "When composing and reading plain text".  SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Thanks Brian! This cured my problem - the font was clear - at long last I can read the incoming emails sent in plain text :) > > Plain Text would not have any blue hyperlinks. > > Plain text is just that--all black text.

SignatureBrian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] Great Brian thanks for the help. The message look like it was set for black but was coming up transparent also. I appreciate that this was here. Outlook help was a complete failure. > > Plain Text would not have any blue hyperlinks. > > Plain text is just that--all black text.
