Outlook has tons of ways for you to make your e-mail messages your own! It includes two e-mail editors (Microsoft Word 2003 and a basic Outlook editor), as well as three different mail formats (Plain Text, Rich Text Format, and HTML). You can use either mail editor in combination with any of the three formats.
