Selecting the Default Read View and Font

By default, GroupWise uses the HTML Read view to display items for reading. This Read view enables both HTML-formatted and plain text e-mail to display correctly.

When you read an item in GroupWise, you can select how you want the message to display. You can select whether the message is displayed in text or HTML. If the message is a text message, you can also select the default font and font size.

  1. Click Tools > Options.

  2. Click Environment > General.

  3. Under Default Read View & Font, select Plain Text or HTML.

  4. If you select Plain Text:

    1. Select the font and the font size in the appropriate fields.

      By default, incoming HTML messages are displayed in HTML, even when you select Plain Text. This makes reading messages easier when you receive both plain text and HTML messages.

    2. (Optional) Select Force view if you want to force all messages to be displayed in text only.

      This prevents all HTML formatting and embedded images from being displayed.

  5. Click OK.

  6. If you selected HTML:

    For security reasons, images are not displayed in HTML messages by default. You can customize the functionality of this warning.

    1. Click Environment > Default Actions.

    2. In the HTML external images section, select if you want to Always show warning, Never show warning, or Check Frequent Contacts.

      If you select Check Frequent Contacts, images display from senders in your Frequent Contacts address book, but the warning displays for everyone else.

    3. Click OK.

  7. Click Close.
