Outlook shows extra info in reading pane - UNWANTED

[kwunder]

Hi,

I have Outlook 2003. As a member of a web based forum, I have settings in place for email notifications to be sent to me if anyone replies to a thread I am subscribed to.

When I used to receive these notifications, I simply got a short message like :-

"hello, you have received a reply to x thread. please click on the link below to view the reply." (followed by a single line URL)

Recently, I had to reinstall my OS and all my applications, one of which was Outlook 2003.
Since then, when I received a reply notification, I get loads of useless info at the start of the message, like:-

X-Apparently-To
X-Originating-IP
X-Priority
etc etc etc

Is there a setting in Outlook that can prevent all the excess information from being displayed ?

Cheers

You need to configure Outlook to stop displaying Headers.

Thanks for that Simon.

Next question is how ?

Check to see if you have this entry in your registry.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Options\Mail

Parameter: SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders

Value=1

If you do this is what's allowing you to view the full source of the inbound mails from your ISP, either remove the DWORD entry for SaveAllMIMENotJustHeaders entry or try changing it to value=0 and give that a try.

This will only affect new emails once the key has been changed and won't change any of the emails that have already been received.

Simon,

I've just looked in the registry, but that entry is not there.

I have :-

Default REG_SZ
Editor Preference REG-DWORD
Enable Logging REG-DWORD
JunkMailImport REG-DWORD
ReadAsPlain REG-DWORD


Thanks for your assistance !
