Outlook 365 email showing plain text format instead of HTML format from some senders

Question
-
Hi All
The outlook 365 is receiving emails and from few senders . While displaying these emails the preview is not displaying or the formatting is gone and displays as plain text. Seems like the HTML formatting is not working . This is not happening from all senders but only from few senders.
The plain text received in outlook 365 when viewed in Microsoft exchange server showing correct formatted HTML
Can some one help in finding the root cause or any suggestions ?
Thanks

Hi Bindu,
Does this issue happen to specific senders?
Do these messages have an Infobar at the top which indicates that Outlook converted it to Plain Text?
We can try opening Outlook in safe mode to see if the issue continues. Please exit Outlook, press Win key + R to open the Run command, type outlook.exe /safe and then press Enter. This helps eliminate whether the problem lies on any third party add-ins.
Besides, do you have any anti-virus software running on your PC? In case this issue was related with the virus scanner’s integration with Outlook, we can try temporarily close them to check the results.
Any updates, please feel free to post back.
Regards,
Perry

Hi Perry , Thanks for your quick reply. We do not have outlook windows application. The one what we use is MS exchange integration for office 365. So we can not do the steps you mentioned .
We dont have anti-virus too. Can you please think or suggest what would be the next step to look into ?
Thanks a lot in advance
Bindu

Hi Bindu,
What do you mean by "MS exchange integration for office 365"? Web mail?
As we mainly focus on issues regarding Outlook desktop client, I'm not familiar with OWA or other tools.
