windows live mail and HTML?

Is there any way of setting windows live mail to autmoatically display emails with full HTML?

Our Vista laptop seems to be doing this but my new windows 7 machine does not..

thanks

yes but i stopped usng webmail hotmail due to it being so slow on my windows 7 machine i dont want to giveup viewing emails as they are intended. I do run norton on my machine so I presume this should filter emails.

On a side note all junk mail is recieved on the laptop isnt it even if i dont open it?


Thanks for the reply.

Who's talking about Hotmail?
The link I gave you was about Windows Live Mail

As for viewing "e-mails as intended"... I'll put my pedant head on and point out that e-mail was only intended as a text messaging system
The later use of HTML code was a bolt-on, and a poor insecure one at that

I was merely explaining my reasoning for wanting to continue with HTML emails as I was used to the web based hotmail system.

I appreciate it may be insecure but id rather have it on.

Many thanks for your help
