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.. Next, explains how to use plain text as default in Outlook.
Before getting into how to do this, It is important to note that plain text has advantages and disadvantages, for both sender and receiver. The main drawback of plain text is that it does not have formatting or online features such as images or links.. Most of the mail you read will look at least a little different if you read it in plain text, and some emails will be almost unreadable if they have a large format.
Despite this, there are also benefits. Plain text is more secure because nothing is hidden. There can be no embedded tracking images or hidden phishing URLs (because if the url is visible in plain text, you will see the full url, instead of whatever text the sender wants you to see). For this reason, automated scanners are less likely to view plain text emails you send as dangerous or malicious because plain text simply cannot be as dangerous as HTML. (This does not mean that someone hypocrisy send you a malicious link in plain text, but it's much harder to trick you into clicking it).
With that in mind, here's how to read all messages in plain text, send all messages in plain text and send only a single message in plain text.
Read plain text mail
If you want to read all mail in plain text, Head to File> Options> Trust Center> Trust Center Settings.
Elija la opción Seguridad del email y active la opción “Read all standard mail in plain text”.
Click on “To accept” para salir de la configuración del Centro de confianza y “To accept” de nuevo para salir de la ventana de Opciones. Outlook will now display all emails you open in plain text.
Sending all mail in plain text
You can force all mail you write to be plain text by opening File> Options> Mail, abriendo el menú desplegable “Compose messages in this format” and selecting “Plain text”.
Click on “To accept” para salir de Opciones y el formato predeterminado para enviar mensajes nuevos será ahora texto sin formato.
Sending a specific email in plain text
If you want to leave the standard HTML format as the default, pero desea escribir un correo individual en texto sin formato, you can also do it. Después de iniciar un mensaje nuevo, haga clic en Dar formato a texto> Texto sin formato.
Click on “Continue” para cambiar el mensaje a texto sin formato. Once i do this, you can change it back to HTML, but you will have to recreate your signature; it is easier to discard the mail and create a new one.

On a side note, if you have changed your settings to always send as plain text, you can change this for individual messages in the same way. Open a new email and click Text Format> HTML to send just that message using HTML.
