How to display all incoming messages in plain text in Outlook?

By enabling the "Read all standard mail in plain text" option, you can automatically convert all incoming messages into plain text. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up Outlook to display all incoming messages as plain text, ensuring a safer and simpler email reading experience.
