Easy way to remove stationery?

[sawedoff]

I hate it when I receive emails with that annoying stationery, especially those with dark backgrounds and hard-to-read fonts. Is there an easy way to strip them or make them arrive sans stationery?

I know I can edit the email and change it's format, but I am looking for a one or two click method (or block).

Thanks in advance.

I don't have an answer for you, but I wanted to give this a bump.

I'm also looking for a way to keep stationery from being displayed when I read an email. Being forced to view someone's stationery is near the top of my list in regard to poor email etiquette.

If you're using Outlook 2003, this might work for you if you don't mind doing away with all HTML code in the messages. I found this in MS Office Outlook Help.

Read messages in plain text

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click Preferences.
Click E-mail Options, and then select the Read all standard mail in plain text check box.
To include messages signed with a digital signature, select the Read all digitally signed mail in plain text check box.

Notes

Forcing a digitally signed message that is not in plain text format to be read in plain text will prevent the digital signature from working. You will be able to read the message, but the process for verifying the signature, knowing who the sender is, and whether or not the message has been altered will not work.

If you decide you want to view the plain text message in its original format, click the InfoBar (InfoBar: Banner near the top of an open e-mail message, appointment, contact, or task. Tells you if a message has been replied to or forwarded, along with the online status of a contact who is using Instant Messaging, and so on.), and choose either Display as HTML or Display as Rich Text.
