How can I change the reply format so that I always reply in HTML
When replying or forwarding an email that is in plain text it will always be in plain text
Outlook does not offer a way to always use a specific format when you are replying ot forwarding
You can either change it on every message or write code to change it automatically.

Creating an email can be done in many different ways.
The email screen exists in its own window and hence has its own set of toolbars and tools options.

You can either type the email addresses directly or you can use your address book.
press Alt + K to compre the name with one in the address book.

Cc - Carbon Copy - people whom you are sending copies of the message to.
Bcc - Blind Carbob Copy - send the message to the list but do not disclose their names to the members of the To and Cc boxes.
The Bcc field is only recognised by Outlook. If you send a mesasge to a recipient who does not use Outlook that recipient will be able to see the contents , and other packages will be able to see the contents of the Bcc field.

You can format the message using the Formatting toolbar.
