The main drawback of plain text is that it does not have formatting or online features such as images or links. Next, explains how to use plain text as default in Outlook.īefore getting into how to do this, It is important to note that plain text has advantages and disadvantages, for both sender and receiver. I will use iPhone screenshots, but this feature will soon be on Android too.Reading mail in plain text can be a big relief for complicated formatting, Not to mention, it's faster to open and more secure than HTML-heavy emails. Let’s take a look at how the Outlook mobile app enables you to style rich text emails. It is becoming increasingly common on phones though. It is easier to make a Rich Text reader than a Rich Text editor. However, on phones where there are limitations like processing power, memory, stubby fingers instead of a mouse, and so on, Rich Text support has been for reading emails and not for creating them. You probably get more rich text emails than plain text ones these days and every desktop app supports it. There was a time when some email apps did not support Rich Text and they could only display plain text, but that was a decade or more ago.
You probably would not use it when sending a work colleague a simple email or reply, but if you wanted to make an impression with a customer or potential customer, client, and so on, Rich Text is the best format. The difference is tremendous and it is possible to create headings, subheadings and body text styles, select fonts and styles and more. Think of Rich Text as Microsoft Word and plain text as Notepad on the PC or TextEdit in plain text and Rich Text modes on the Mac. Rich Text Format (RTF) is far superior to plain text for making emails stand out and it supports many of the text formatting features that you are used to in a word processor. Right now, it isn’t there, but keep checking for Outlook app updates because it is sure to appear eventually because iOS and Android apps are pretty much the same. It is no doubt coming soon to Android phones.
This is a new feature that only recently arrived in the Outlook app on the iPhone and it is excellent. However, to make an email stand out, use Rich Text Format in Outlook on your phone.Here’s how it works. Plain text emails are fine most of the time and you don’t need fonts, styles and colours.
