Unfortunately, Win 10 Mobile Outlook lacks the ability to create html email. This limitation also wrecks signatures which rely on external references to graphics and use of links to company websites. Branding is important to everyone except Microsoft and its so-called “flagship” Lumia 950 Windows 10 Mobile phone. Outlook email didn’t even “leave port.” HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.
