Stupid Outlook ... Can't believe I have to ask for help

I am currently running Office 2007 apart of Outlook - this is still Outlook 2003 (cannot be upgraded to 2007 due to our current Exchange patch level and configuraion) ..

Anyway .. for some reason it stopped displaying emails in HTML properly.

Take the Microsoft emails for example ... All I get is a plain email with a billion of links rather then nice images ..

I even compared my Outlook at the office which is the same setup (Office 2007 / Outlook 2003) and compared all the settings .. even backed up the settings and restored it with the Settings wizard - same thing ...

ANY specific option I can check there ?

Try recreating the Outlook profile.

I don't understand what could be restricting you from using Outlook 2007 with Exchange 2003? Did you use the correct security settings in your mail profile (NTLM)?

Oh yes .. and we are using SSL as well .. It is been confirmed by Microsoft a while back that we have to apply a patch to our Exchange Server but this would break a tool we run which is neither supported nor sold anymore ..

Long story .. nothing we can do at the moment ...
