Hi,
I'm trying to get rid of html email in my organization. Does anybody know where the registry key is stored for Outlook 2000 html & plain text email format? I'd like to add a default value to my script.
Thanks,
Bruce

If you go to (for Office XP = 10.0, Office 2000 = 9.00 i think)

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Options\Mail

the key "EditorPreference" I believe is for each editor. As far as I know the values are as follows (in Hex).

10001 = Plain Text
30001 = Rich Text
20001 = HTML

Therefore just change this key from any 20001's to 10001. This won't require local admin rights.

Oh, and please test on yours, worked ok on my quick test.

Diane,

Thanks for that update.

I have updated -

Exchange/Outlook Configuration

I also added in -
code:
; -- Set the default mail preference as Rich Text format 196609 is Word, 196610 Rich Text Format
IF "196610" <> READVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Options\Mail","EditorPreference")
$rc = WRITEVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Options\Mail","EditorPreference","196610","REG_DWORD")
ENDIF

Thanks!

Kent

Thank you Diane!

I was just wondering about this myself.

Kent,

Does KiX not read it as a hex value? Just curious why you used the decimal version.

Addict,

The reason for using the Decimal Version is that when I debug the script, we see - 196609 when I run the following test code. Yes, REGEDIT shows it as 30001.. Have not tried to set the HEX value as I know the Decimal works.

code:
break on cls
$test = READVALUE("HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Options\Mail","EditorPreference")
$test

get $k

HTH,

Kent
