HTML Compatibility

Can I receive HTML messages in my email program, or can I only receive text-only messages?

Some email programs have the ability to display HTML messages, which include graphics and links. Others can only display text and/or limited graphics. If you try to view an HTML message in a text-only email reader, your message won't display properly.

The following email clients are HTML compatible:

  • Microsoft Outlook 2002 (XP) & 2003
  • Microsoft Outlook 98 & 2000
  • Microsoft Outlook Express
  • Microsoft Outlook Express for Macintosh
  • Incredimail
  • Eudora
  • Netscape
  • Web-based email (such as Yahoo! Mail)
  • Other HTML readers

The following email clients are not HTML compatible:
  • Lotus Notes
  • cc:Mail
  • AOL
  • other plain text readers

If you have questions about a particular email client or web-based email service, please consult their Help files or support group for more detailed information.
