This is a great little program -- freeware! Meets a need. Allows SAFE viewing of suspicious email without risking a "phone home" spying ploy. Easier than "Options" to view headers to detected Phishing exploits. Should be a standard feature of Outlook. Do remember to close outlook before installation.

This is exactly what I was looking for. I works perfect. I do not use the autoview feature for Outlook. Fantastic for filtering out the fake emails. Great Addon and you can't beat the price.

The idea of being able to get a plaintext view of Outlook messages is something I've wanted but this program requires you to select the message, which causes it to display as HTML in the regular manner, before you can click on the Peek button to redisplay it in text view. I don't get it. [Editor`s note: You need to turn OFF the Outlook Reading Pane. View/Reading Pane/ OFF ]
