Always forward Emails in a fixed format (such as html, plain text) automatically in Outlook

Author: Xiaoyang Last Modified: 2024-10-18

Normally, when you forward the message to other recipients, Outlook always forwards in the same format (Plain Text, Rich Text or HTML) of the original message. Is there any way to make Outlook always use a specific email format, such as HTML format when forwarding messages regardless of the format sent to you? In this case, I will introduce a handy tool – Fixed Forward Formatting of Kutools for Outlook, by applying this feature, you can quickly set a specific email format for forwarding messages without setting the format each time manually.
