Hi again Edward, this isn't scheduled to be fixed, as I understand it, until the version released after 7.1 (probably 8, but who knows).
I'd try going into an html message, and doing a select all and copy, then opening a Word session and pasting the entire message into Word. It's the most accessible way I know of to get at all the attributes which may be used such as color, or differing fonts, or bolding, or whatever. I don't think I could fix this directly in my upcoming Outlook script, but perhaps, if your experience with this approach is positive, I could at least automate this so that a press of a hotkey would move the entire message into Word and start it reading. Let me know how it works.
