Entourage without HTML-display

Hello NG,

I am new to the Mac and in my compay we use office:mac

Here's my problem:
I compose eMails just using text, I do not use HTML to compose Messages.
But if someone writes me a mail that is formatted in HTML Entourage shows
the formatted Mail. The only thing that I found so far is to not allow
"Complex-HTML" (whatever that means). But even when I turn off complex-HTML
Entourage shows HTML.

I was used (using Outlook Express 6) to turn off the display of HTML-Mails
completly.

Even Lotus Notes (v.5.0.9a) shows the eMails without HTML-Formatting.

And if I send an eMail formatted in HTML with Entourage it will always send
the text-only-part, too.

Please help me!

Thanks, Christoph

Hi Christoph,

The setting to allow and disallow the display of complex HTML messages only
concerns messages with tables and other elements that you cannot create in
Entourage HTML messages but can create in web pages. Most likely the
messages you're receiving have simple HTML and can be rendered by Entourage,
whereas the more advanced ones are rendered by Internet Explorer.

There's no setting to turn off the display of HTML, however, if you're sure
you never want to see HTML mail, you could set up a rule so that HTML is
removed from all incoming mail and the content is converted to plain text.

Download Allen Watson's free "Strip HTML" script and place it into the
Entourage Script Menu Items folder (HD/Users/<Your User>/Documents/Microsoft
User Data).
<http://www.scriptbuilders.net/?search=Strip+HTML>

Then, launch Entourage, and create a rule to run the script on all HTML
messages. Go to Tools -> Rules, click New, and create one like this:
* Execute actions if all criteria are met
IF Is HTML mail
THEN Run AppleScript Strip HTML

Click OK, and you'll find that all incoming HTML messages are edited to
remove the HTML content and display plain text only.
