Guide Review - noHTML for Outlook Express 1.0 - Outlook Express Add-On

HTML formatting for email messages brings prettier messages, but it may also bring malicious scripts, and it can be a danger for your privacy. Unfortunately, Outlook Express displays HTML messages by default — unless you use noHTML for Outlook Express.

noHTML for Outlook Express automatically converts HTML messages to plain text in both the preview pane and in message windows. This simple solution protects against the perils of HTML messages effectively.

Unfortunately, noHTML for Outlook Express does not convert all HTML perfectly, which can result in hard to read messages. Additionally, noHTML for Outlook Express does not retain the URLs from links. But noHTML for Outlook Express has a toolbar button that quickly turns off conversion.
