Wendy, First, it's strange that you can't read them. You may want to play around with closing the reading pane and also check whether maximized or not. However you can tell Outlook 2007 to read all messages in plain text, but you'll lose the ability to click on embedded links. Here's how: Tools/Trust Center/E-Mail Security You'll find a checkbox for reading all messages in plain text. They sure did a good job of hiding it.

However, isn't there some setting in outlook that will work so I don't have to read the message in my browser?
