Default why received email html greyed out

I am now on Outlook 2003 and few of my email html messages are coming in as
text. I've checked defaults and all seem set correctly and matched security
settings with my 2000 Outlook, looked at view and text/html is greyed out and
MSWord is not my editor. What am I missing?

Perhaps the senders are using plain text for their composition?

Default why received email html greyed out

Unfortunately not, I just moved to Outlook 2003 and when I was in Outlook
2000, it came through as html fine. Now it's just text. Can't figure it out.
It's not only one email - it is various emails that used to come in as html
and now all text.

Also, when I was notified of your response, came in as text and clicking the
hyperlink back to the message didn't work and I had to come and find this
post manually.... help...

what folder are you reading the messages in? This is standard for the junk
mail folder and I believe messages identified as possible phishing attempts.

That's because I posted in plain text from a newsreader, not the web.

The most common cause of this is scanning incoming messages with your
antivirus program. If you are scanning incoming mail, uninstall your AV
program and reinstall it without the mail scanning feature. You will be just
as protected.
