Default Old HTML E-Mails

All the mail was stored in an Outlook XP PST file as a local folder
for delivery of POP3 mail. When I upgraded, I presumed that Outlook
2007 would be ok with the PST file. After the upgrade OL2007 saw the
PST and i can read all the PlainText and RichText emails, its only
the HTML ones that I have a problem with - in so much as when
messages are opened (or previewed) the HTML code is displayed instead
of a formatted HTML view.


When updating to Outlook 2007, it's always a good idea to create a fresh
mail profile with the Mail applet in Control Panel. Add the existing PST to
that profile, add your accounts, then start Outlook and see how it behaves.
Note that you're still using an ANSI (old) format PST. If you want to
convert your PST to the new Unicode format, you can do it either manually or
