I am running windows 11. When using the windows mail and agenda app some emails appear in their html format. This is an example:

<!-- end of setup -->

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

<html>

  <head>

    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1, user-scalable=0" />

    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

    <style type="text/css">

      ReadMsgBody{ width: 100%;}

      .ExternalClass {width: 100%;}

      .ExternalClass, .ExternalClass p, .ExternalClass span, .ExternalClass font, .ExternalClass td, .ExternalClass div {line-height: 100%;}

      body {-webkit-text-size-adjust:100%; -ms-text-size-adjust:100%;margin:0 !important;}

      p { margin: 1em 0;}

      table td { border-collapse: collapse;}

      img {outline:0;}

      a img {border:none;}

      @-ms-viewport{ width: device-width;}

    </style>

     <style type="text/css">

        html,

        }

        * {

            -ms-text-size-adjust: 100%;

            -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;

        }

        div[style*="margin: 16px 0"] {

            margin: 0 !important;

        }

        table,

        table table table {

    My self-discovered temp fix was to uninstall and then reinstall my email provider, Yahoo!

    I have been on Windows 11 for months now. The msn mail client produces html code on W11 too.

    Doesn't help me as I'm on Windows 10 and can't upgrade to 11!! I

    I suggest then you keep checking the Microsoft store as thats where the updates to the mail and calendar app gets updated, and have been several updates recently, but as i said Windows 10 only has two years left of support left , and with rumors of Windows 12 being rolled out in 2024 , there is no incentive for Microsoft to fix the mail app , I am currently using Bluemail , it doesn't fix your issue. If you cant upgrade to Windows 11, I dont know your level of computer knowledge , so I don't know if you can force an upgrade on your device , I myself have upgraded a HP G5 255 to Windows 11, then without sounding harsh , you could save up for a Windows 11 capable device,

    Hi Christopher

    Any Twitter update on the message sent you last month?

    I'm now getting more emails with numbers on the script and a message to say download messages and pictures in blue which I can't do!!

    Hello sory for the late reply , news on that , not much help from twitter , but my own investigation turn up an article about "a new email client " Microsoft were working on , so I suspect there is no incentive for Microsoft to "fix" the mail app , when this new one could be about to be released https://www.windowslatest.com/2022/01/25/microsoft-is-preparing-a-new-email-client-for-windows-11/
