On a recent case, I found some really useful Yahoo e-mails within the internet cache but due to the way the client had their browser configured (I suspect connected with java and css issues) they could not see the all important text within the e-mail. Obviously, I can talk him through re-configuring the browser (I suspect they would not be allowed to anyway and have to go through their own IT Dept to get permission) and the text is visible within the source code but in future, are there any recommendations for ways in which I can make it easier for the client to get a full view without actually editing the HTML?
(I know that Word can show these files but thats not ideal)

why not just open them up in a browser yourself, and then pasting a screen capture into the report?

And there is always the option of printing the pages to a PDF for presentation.

Or you can write a simple script to parse out all the html and just send the plain text…if you know how to code, that is. Perl or command line php would be easy.

sorry to bump this up but if anyone has any useful tools for viewing the latest Hotmail live files (including the message body) from the web history (editmessagelight.htm for example) I would be very grateful.

Thanks and Have a good weekend
