plain text email does not contain formatting - its plain text just like in
notepad, nothing more, nothing less. They'd have to send you HTML formatted
messages if they want you to see the message using their favorite fonts.

Thanks for the quick reply.

But to be make my question more precise, I would like to be able to view
the
email with the fonts and colours that the sender has used to compose it.
I
am using Outlook 2007 and it shows all texts in received emails as
Calibri.

Isn't there any options/checkbox such as "Read emails with sender's
format"?

There seems to be only options for outgoing mail...

Regards,

Chris

I have my Hotmail account set up on Outlook 2007.

I would like to be able to read my email messages in their
source/original
font and format.

Right now, all emails in my Inbox appear in the Calibri font.

Help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks!
