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,

        body {

            margin: 0 auto !important;

            padding: 0 !important;

            height: 100% !important;

        }

        * {

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

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

        }

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

            margin: 0 !important;

        }

        table,

        th {

            mso-table-rspace: 0pt !important;

            font-weight: normal;

        table {

            border-collapse: collapse !important;

            table-layout: fixed !important;

        }

        table table table {

        }

        a {

        }

        *[x-apple-data-detectors],

    I agree that this code issue is not being fixed by Microsoft, and it is annoying. I must disagree that Microsoft Tech Support is useless, although I can respect your feelings.

    They are useless , each time I have contacted them , they have just made the problem worse , they are not technicians and are just reading off cue cards or prompts on their screen , then Microsoft want you to pay for advanced support , well, if this is an example of their support they can keep it , espeically when in the days of upgrading to Windows 10 i got told by a techncan "well you chose to upgrade " , terrible attitude , they are also completely oblivious to the isssues with the Mail app , there answer is to try and roll back the computer by resetting it and keeping all your files , this only causes more agravation , as it messes up your operating system , complete total waste of time !

    My Verizon mail works just fine in AOL Mail where I was spun off to when Verizon shut down their mail servers. The Windows Mail program is where the code issue persists. I am pretty sure that the Yahoo Mail spinoff from Verizon works for those on Yahoo. So adding Mozilla is just another duplicative program for most of us. It is a workaround for you. For convenience I prefer to read all my emails in Windows Mail.
