Explorer doesn't have the engine to read html, so it would display it as text.

Sorry, edit, explorer reads it by the extension, if it's not html or in an unrecognized format, it would display it as raw (txt).

So a few days ago, this strange thing started to happen. I looked it up but couldnt seem to find any solutions since not many people had the same problem. So here goes:

 

When I save mails from outlook and try to preview them in a folder it shows me these weird HTML tags instead of line breaks.

 

All of the mails saved before that day are still shown as normal, so I am thinking the problem lies in how the files are saved in Outlook... 

 

Help xD

Email format can sometime (if not everytime) be HTML. So it's normal.

Explorer doesn't have the engine to read html, so it would display it as text.

I understand, but until now it always showed it without the &nbsp tags...
