Can you save the message as an htm file for use with my browser?

Hello Humberto,

One awful solution is to save the message as a txt file and read it that
way.  I have experienced the same issue.

Hello all,

 

I am very frustrated with Microsoft office outlook 2010 and windows 7. I
cannot seem to find a way for me to read email messages such as newsletters
that contain heavy html such as tables, links, headings, and graphics. 

When I open a message, and I tab to read it with the reading pane, or enter
to open, I get the warning message from JAWS: 

"warning, for best results for reading this message, press Alt+H, then the
letter A, then letter V to read the message in your browser."

Also, outlook has prompted me when opening one of these email messages: "If
there are problems displaying this message, click here to read it in your
browser."

 

Let me tell you: first, I have spent my life navigating the entire ribbons
and there is no option in this application that says, or is related to,
viewing the email in my web browser. Second, I can't also find a way to get
to the notification bar that outlook displays when there are messages with
pictures, or to prompt me to right click to download images, ETC. of course.
I was trying to click on the notification to display the message in my
browser, but I don't have any luck. I either have to use the JAWS cursor to
find the notification or go into mazes of junk trying to read the message
right from within the "read-only" edit box that outlook displays. 

My questions are:

 

1.       How do I get to the outlook notification bar quicker? Is there a
shortcut key for this?

2.      Is there a way in outlook that I can make it to view the message
into Internet explorer, for instance, to read those kinds of email messages?
Is there a hot key for that also? Is JAWS perhaps lying about the given
shortcut key since it does not work at all?

 

Any answers are welcome. And as I said earlier, I'm starting to hate office
outlook 2010. If this continues, I'm going to have to roll back to office
2003 regardless of whether I am told that I need to update or not! (grim).

 

Cheers,

Humberto
