Outlook email format messed up? Maybe you need to fix formatting in Outlook. Set default to to Hyperlink Markup Language (HTML), Rich Text Format (RTF) or Plain Text.

I understand that many people don't desire this... but I want my preview pane to show messages in html format, not rich text.Anyone know how to do ...

Click "Conditional Formatting" to view the Conditional Formatting window. This window contains a list of default rules, including "Unread Messages," that Outlook applies to your messages.
