Open Email in Browser.
Win 10 Home 1903
When this message appears at the top of an OUTLOOK 2019 incoming email...
...I want it to open in my default Browser CHROME (I used Internet Explorer in my previous Win 7 installation). The filetype is shown as .MHT and a number of apps are offered as potential for opening this file, but none of them are browsers. So I choose "Look for another app on this PC" and select CHROME.EXE The resulting display shows the email content in a continuous text string rather than formatting it to represent the email.
I assigned EDGE browser via this path...
"C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.MicrosoftEdge_8wekyb3d8bbwe\MicrosoftEdge.exe"
---and it did not work. EDGE simply blinks and ends. I checked the filetype assignment and EDGE was assigned to that filetype, but not working. I can assign PSTVIEWER exe to read the MHT file, that reads it OK but does not render it properly.
I found this...

...but IETAB extension did not work for me. I have queried with the author of that extension.
I found I can open and render it properly in WORD. Which is a satisfactory work-around for the moment, but I would prefer that open in browser worked. Ideas welcome.
