You need to go to Tools -> Options..., then select 'E-mail Options...' 
on the Preferences tab, you will see the option 'Read all standard mail 
in plain text'.  This is on Outlook 2003, though IIRC it was fairly 
similar on Outlook 2000.

If you are allowed out of the corporate network on POP or IMAP ports - 
and I'm sure there are some mail service providers who let you connect 
ports like 443 to IMAP - then you can install Thunderbird in your My 
Documents folder and it should run just fine - just get the zipped 
distribution rather than the installer and extract it.  Even better just 
stick it on a USB key then it won't get deleted by any nightly 'remove 
unauthorised software' scans.
