Read the source text of an HTML email in Outlook
The possibility to look at the complete source text of an HTML email has been somewhat hidden in Outlook 2010. Here's how you can still read the source code.
"Read source text" as a function in the quick start access bar
As in Outlook 2007, you will need to take a small detour through the “Other Options” icon, but this is probably not yet active after the installation. In the example we integrate the function in the quick start access bar:
- First open the mail. Click "File" and then "Options."
- In the “Outlook Options” dialog, click on “Quick Access Toolbar”.
- Under "Select commands" set "All commands" and scroll down the list until you see "Other actions". Highlight the entry and click "Add." Confirm with OK".
- You will then see a new icon with an arrow in the quick start access bar at the top left. Clicking on it opens a menu. Now you can take a closer look at the mail via “Show source text”.
