The issue is that In Outlook Express in Windows XP SP2 or Windows 2003 SP1, the following
features do not work when Tools, Options, Read, Read All Message In Plain Text is selected
(For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H)
- Displaying attached images at the bottom of the message window
- Visited Links changing colors
- Right click a Link and select Add to Favorites, Copy Shortcut or Save Target As
- Dragging a Link from the message to IE or another program
- Unscramble (ROT13)
- View, Text Size
This is because the developers changed the module used to display messages in plain text
to one with less functionality and so less prone to security problems. The setting is
global to both mail and news.
Your forwarding issue came up because your default sending format is HTML rather than
plain text (Tools, Options, Send), since the Read in Plain text setting only applies to
reading.
As for seeing the image attachments, you can always read in plain text, then click the
paper clip icon to open the attachment to view in your default image viewer.
