MHT support for Outlook "view it in a web browser"
When viewing an email, Outlook sometimes displays an alert "If there are problems with how this message is displayed, click here to view it in a web browser". Clicking the alert will open the email ...
I'm amazed this is still a thing. We've moved on from IE. We've also moved to the chromium version of Edge. Just let me view the preview in Edge!
Please update this bug, this seems like a gigantic security issue for outlook!!! Not to mention super ridiculous that Internet Explorer is still a one and only handler for anything!
Make Edge support .mht files !!
- Since a recent update, when you click the "view it in a web browser" Outlook is encouraging you to open the .mht in Edge ("New!"). Probably the MS marketing department ordered this 😞
We would not need this "view it in a web browser" if Outlook would render HTML email properly. But it doesn't. In particular (nested) tables, typically used in newsletters are a nightmare. It used to be... well not really good but OK until Office 2007. Since then Outlook doesn't resize images in tables, it doesn't respect font styling in nested tables etc etc. Newsletters that look perfect in any email client can become unreadable in Outlook.
