Font different on received messages

[Debbie25]

I will send an email form work using Outlook 2007 to home using the same app.

When I compose the email I have words in bold and colors but when I open the message at home on 2 different PC's the formatting is not there.

It's all plain black fonts.

Why does this happen?

Thanks,
Debbie

On your home computers do you have your e-mail security set to read all standard mail as plain text?

Instructions on enabling the setting from Microsoft Outlook help:

Read e-mail messages in plain text
If you have security concerns about reading HTML-formatted messages, you can have Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 automatically display messages that you open in plain text instead. However, reading messages in plain text does not provide full protection against all e-mail hazards.

[ul]
[li]1. On the Tools menu, click Trust Center, and then click E-mail Security.[/li]
[li]2. Under Read as Plain Text, select the Read all standard mail in plain text check box.[/li]
[/ul]
To include messages signed with a digital signature, select the Read all digitally signed mail in plain text check box.

Note: If you want to view a plain text message in its original format, click the InfoBar, and choose either Display as HTML or Display as Rich Text.

To disable it do the reverse.

Hope this helps.

I found the solution...

I found that both PC's at home use 'HTML' format and my work PC is using 'Rich Text'.

I sent an email from one PC at home to the other and the font format was fine, so that's what I believe it is.

Thanks for your help,
Debbie
