Technique: Getting Outlook to Display All Email in Text Form

I really dislike reading HTML-formatted email, because it tends to take longer to load and rarely does the layout do anything for me. The other day I stumbled on a way to have it all display as text:
  1. Click on Tools->Options.

  2. Click on the Preferences tab, if it isn't on display.

  3. Click the E-mail Options button.

  4. Check box next to "Read all standard mail in plain text."

  5. Check box next to "Read all digitally signed mail in plain text."

  6. Click OK.

  7. Click OK.
Now everything should display as plain text.
