I have an e-mail sent to me that has some dropdown boxes & a "submit" button on a form. When i changed over to outlook 2007 no dropdown boxes appear or the button, the wording is there as though something is stopping the form to load correctly. Is there a security setting or an add-on that i am missing?

it is probably outlook preventing the embedded html in the email from loading. there is usualy a bar near the subject line saying if you click here it will load it correctly

Outlook 2007 uses the Word HTML renderer instead of the IE renderer like previous versions did. A lot of standard html code will now not work in mailers, there is no work around for it. And microsoft knock back the adoption of standards again
