After clicking "View Source", a text document will immediately open displaying the source code of the HTML email body.

Under the "Format Text" tab, click "HTML" in Outlook 2010 or later versions.
And if you are using Outlook 2007, please click "Message" > "Other Actions" > "Edit Message" to display the "Options" tab, and then click "HTML" under "Options".
