Windows mail showing in html
Windows Mail is a built-in email client in Windows operating systems, and it can display emails in HTML format. Here's how:
- Check if HTML is enabled: Open Windows Mail and go to Settings (or Options in older versions). Look for the Composition or Format section. Make sure the HTML or Rich Text option is selected. This will allow Windows Mail to render HTML emails.
- Check the email's format: If the email is sent in plain text, it will be displayed as plain text. If the email is sent in HTML, it will be displayed with formatting, images, and links.
- Viewing HTML emails: When you receive an HTML email in Windows Mail, you can view it by clicking on the email in the inbox. The email will be displayed with its original formatting, including images, links, and tables.
- Customizing HTML display: You can customize how HTML emails are displayed in Windows Mail by going to Settings > Composition > Format. You can choose to display HTML emails in a specific font, font size, or with a specific background color.
Some common issues you might encounter when viewing HTML emails in Windows Mail include:
- Images not displaying: If images are not displaying, check if the email is sent with the images embedded or linked. If linked, ensure that the images are hosted on a publicly accessible server.
- Formatting issues: If the email's formatting is not displaying correctly, try checking the email's source code to see if there are any issues with the HTML code.
- Security warnings: Windows Mail may display security warnings if it detects suspicious content in the email. You can usually bypass these warnings by clicking on the View button.
