The "insert as text" option is still available in Outlook 2016, but you have to un-hide the old "Attach File" button. Use that instead of the new "Attach File..." button on the ribbon.
From https://www.msoutlook.info/question/classic-attach-file-button:
- File-> Options-> Quick Access Toolbar
- Set the “Choose commands from” dropdown list to: All Commands.
- Select the “Attach File” command.
- Make sure you do not select the “Attach File…” command as that is the new menu button.
- Press the "Add > > " button.
- Press OK to close the Options dialog and return to Outlook.
Once you have the old "Attach File" button back:
- Click the "Attach file" button in your Quick Access toolbar
- Select your file ending in .html
- Select "Insert as Text."
Outlook is full of settings that are difficult and non-intuitive to locate.
One thing that could cause a message to take longer to send (that is, to leave Outlook) is whether it is already synchronized with the server or no.
Check this setting:
File > Info > Account Settings (button) > Account Settings (menu item)
And find your mail account in the E-mail
tab and choose Change
(should take you into the Account Settings panel)
Check that Mail to keep offline
is set to All
:
Another thing to try is, in the same Account Settings panel, click on More Settings
then go to the Advanced
and make sure the Purge items when switching folders while online
is checked. The reason I suggest this is that (unless I'm wrong) it may perform some cleanup on the local db.
Also, in that same Advanced
panel, I have for Server Timeouts
set to 1 minute
. Maybe that could help?
Here is something I found which has a few more ideas (Bear in mind I have not tried any of these things):
Make sure Outlook is closed. Then locate and run scanpst.exe
with your *.pst outlook data file as the parameter. (This is the Inbox Repair Tool)
If that doesn't work, use your Office CD to run a repair.
Finally, try opening Outlook in safe mode by typing this in the RUN box:
Outlook.exe /safe

Good question. This can be done when composing an email by clicking on the message options in the bottom right hand corner of the Tags group on the ribbon and then selecting a category:
