Outlook 2003 question

[Sarah]

I also posted this in the Outlook group, but got no response:

Set up: Outlook 2003/Exchange 2003 on SBS 2003
PROBLEM: Ever since upgrading to Outlook2003, my PCWorld newsletters &
HotJobs search results come as an HTM or HTML attachments instead of showing
the HTML in the body of the email as they did before in Outlook 2000.

*My email format is HTML
*Exchange is NOT configured to block .htm or .html attachments
*Outlook -> Tools -> Options -> Security tab -> Change Automatic Download
Settings -> "Don't Download pictures.." is checked, "Permit Downloads from
Safe Senders/Recipients" is checked, "Permit Downloads from Websites in
Trusted Zone" is checked
*The domain the problem emails come from has been added to the "Safe
Senders" list
*The domain has been added to the Trusted Sites in IE6
*Some people have suggested adding a key to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security that is a
new string value -
"Level1Remove" = ".htm;.html"
This does NOT work to display the htm/html attachment in the body of the
email. This is probably because the attachments are NOT being blocked, so
this does even apply to my issue.
*Some people said that it's probably crappy HTML code that is causing this,
but this was not a problem for me on Outlook 2000 or Outlook 2002 (pre
upgrade)

I am completely out of ideas on this one. Can anyone help?

You've got to uncheck "Don't download pictures" or you'll never get this to
work.

It shouldn't be that way. Even though "Don't Download Pictures" is checked,
the 2 checkboxes beneath it permit exceptions to that rule - meaning anyone
on your Safe Senders list and any sites in your Trusted Zones will NOT abide
by the rule and pictures *will* be downloaded. To have to uncheck that top
box would be admitting that there is a major problem with Outlook and I am
not able to use it as it is intended.

For a lark, I tried your suggestion anyway. It did not work. Thanks anyway.
