Outlook Express colour highlights


In Outlook Express, when I wish to highlight words in colour (HTML enabled) the colour no longer shows on my screen, but it does for the recipient.

Colour works fine in Word and elsewhere.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

It sounds like the HTML settings in Outlook Express have a problem. To check this, open Outlook Express, click Tools then select Options.

In the Options box, click the Send tab and check the HTML button is selected as the mail format.

Another area that can cause problems is when you have stationery enabled. To check this, while in the Options choose Compose and take the ticks off the stationery options. You can edit any custom stationery later if this is the problem.
