Outlook – Show text-only view of incoming email

emailhtmlmicrosoft-outlook-2010plaintext

I'm being sent an email which offers alternate views: plain text and HTML. The two views have slightly different content. I want to read the plain text view, not any rendering of the HTML view.

When I select 'read all messages as plain text' in the Trust Center, it seems to show a plain-text rendering of the HTML view.

How can I read the plain text view of the email?

You will need to contact the sender to have them send you the text version of the message. Outlook simply displays the message in the format it was received. When you choose to read it in plain text, it just converts it as you have experienced.
