Microsoft Outlook 98 or later versions allow you to save emails as HTML. HTML, which stands for HyperText Markup Language, is one of the most popular languages for developing Web pages. HTML allows you to further enhance email messages by embedding hyperlinks, displaying pop-up messages, adding videos and retaining other formatting such as fonts and colors.
Step
Start Microsoft Outlook.
Step
Highlight the email you want to save by clicking the left mouse button once while hovering over the email.
Step
Go to the "File" menu and select "File Save As." This opens a new window.
Step
Browse to the folder where you want to save your email.
Step
Confirm the file name is supplied in the "File name" dialog. Typically the subject of the email is populated by default. If the file name is not populated or if you wish to change it, enter the file name in the "File name" dialog.
Step
Select HTML in the "File Save As" dialog.
Step
Click Save. The email message is saved in HTML format.
