Messages composed in and sent from Microsoft Outlook 2016 don’t have to consist only of plain text. They can contain diagrams and graphics, and can be visually enhanced by a judicious use of colors, fonts, and backgrounds. For more formal messages, you can attach a signature that includes your contact information, and perhaps a company logo.
You can add visual information to a message, contact record, or other Outlook item to bring it to your attention or to the attention of the recipient. For example, you can indicate that a message is of high importance or contains confidential information. You can also set options that notify you when a recipient reads a message or that prevent the recipient from forwarding or printing a message.
