Hello,
I am using outlook2003 and i am interacting with non outlook users that most
of them used to plain text. After short discussion thread the email body
become messy with lots of >>>> etc.
I want to be able to open such mail and convert it to something more
resonable to read by my eyes.

My approach was to convert the message to HTMLBody format, process the body
content and add HTML tags to it (fonts, color, indentetion etc) then save
the item.

It looks like these HTML tags are added as a simple text and does not affect
how the message is displayed.

Any pointer how to solve this or take another approach?
I am trying to stay with HTML and avoide RTF as some of the receipients
could still view html format.
Thanks in advance
David
