Problem DetailsĪpparently Outlook 2002 has a problem displaying plain text email bodies. I was still able to work with the client just fine, until I ran into this problem.

Sometimes it's because users don't want to learn a new interface, or else it could be because of some Office add-on that won't support later versions. Office XP crops up even when the licenses of the latest releases are available. Very often this is not a licensing question. For various reasons, successful software releases tend to be very hard to die. In organizations with more than a few 10s of desktops, it is not uncommon to come across a few Office XP installations.
