Quite easy Barry. To read plain text as HTML in Outlook, go to the edit menu and press E for edit, which makes the text editable. Then, in the format menue, H for HTML. You should now be able to read the email with your browsing commands, including links. You did say Outlook, didn't you? Works nicely for me in Outlook 2k.

Emails from other sources are fine. HTML is most useful for the BBC emails because of the hyperlinks. I would appreciate it if someone could tell me how to get these messages in HTML.
