If you search around the web, you’re likely to find thousands of threads on Microsoft related forums.

What you are using is the Outlook search that is not the Win...

Plain text emails appear in a white (invisible) font in Outlook 2013.

Plain text emails appear in a white (invisible) font in Outlook 2013.??   Please follow these steps to resolve it!!   1.File > Options > Mail > Stationery and Fonts , then clicking the Font button under Composing and reading plain text messages . The font colour should normally be set to Automatic , and in our case it was inexplicably set to white. Setting it back to Automatic immediately solved the problem.
