Windows 10: view source of html file

A few yeas ago I took an online course
on html4. When I would make a file that would take me to a website I
was able to view source to look at how it was made by viewing the
various tags etc. I don't remember how I was able to do the view
source, but I remember that I opened it and could edit it and make
some changes. Lately I've made a few more links but I can not open
and edit them. When ever I double click or click on Open it worked. I
think that's how I used to edit them and change all the tags etc. I
can't do that any more. It used to be so simple.*Confused

How to view source in IE in separate window?

This may not be exactly what you are hoping for, but this solution works for me. It took me less than 10 minutes to follow the steps in the blog:

Change “View Source” editor in Internet Explorer and Edge | en.code-bude.net

This blog article walks you through the steps to make the View Source work with an editor of your choosing. I followed the steps and now when I use the context menu (right-click) or even use Ctrl + U to View Source what I get is a plain text document inside of Sublime 3. If you want you can make it open the source html in any editor of your choice.

Steps to Change View Source Editor:

1. Run dialogue (Win + R) and the command “regedit”.
   
2. Find the following Key: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer.
   
3. Create new Key called View Source Editor.
   
4. Create a new Key called Editor Name as a child of View Source Editor.
   
5. In the right hand pane of the Registry Editor, double-click the (Default) Key and change the Value Data to match the path to your editor of choice:
   

 

Viewing attachments in HTML e-mails

I saw that thread, but it's unrelated to the problem I'm having. The user there is complaining of an inability to view e-mail messages that are forwarded as attachments, while .jpg and .pdf files, etc. are fine. What I'm noticing is that .jpg and other image
file types are excluded from the listing of attachments to an HTML e-mail altogether after being downloaded, so that if they're not embedded in the message using HTML <img> tags, they are impossible to view on the phone.

I believe what's happening is that image files are suppressed from the attachment list for HTML e-mails so that mass-mailings and newsletters with a lot of images don't show a massive list of attachments for all the embedded images. It makes some sense to
suppress a listing of embedded image file attachments for this reason. Butall image file attachments are being suppressed from the listing if the e-mail is composed in HTML format rather than using plain text. So if I e-mail an image from
Outlook on my computer to a friend who's using WP7, he won't be able to see the attachment if I have Outlook set to compose in HTML. If it's set to compose in plain text, the attachment shows up just fine.

It's quite annoying to receive e-mails from friends that obviously have attached images, but not be able to see the image until I get to my computer. This one really should be addressed.
