Default Outlook and HTML emails

When I migrated over to Outlook 2003, I imported all my emails from Eudora Pro.

Now, a few of them appear to be formatted in html code. But because of this they
are next to impossible to read.

How can I get Outlook to display these emails so I can read them?

Thanks.

The approach I'd take would be to copy the HTML to a separate file, open it
in IE, copy the rendering back to the message, then save it. If the message
format is Plain Text, you'll have to change it to HTML, of course.

That's what I've been doing, reading these older messages (I'm looking for info
on something). Except that I don't copy it back into Outlook.

in IE, copy the rendering back to the message, then save it. If the message
format is Plain Text, you'll have to change it to HTML, of course.


If it's plain text I can read it. Because they're full of html code I can't read
it. Well, not easily. Hence the question about this.

That's why I said to make an HTM file out of it, open that in the browser,
then copy the rendered data, pasting it back into the Outlook HTML message.
That should preserve the rendering. You can then close and save the
message.
