Microsoft Outlook has taken a terrible leap towards updating the outlook e-mail users from Classic to Beta version without providing any Go back to classic view switcher.

However, many users have not uploaded their images and it feels terrible to have A, B, C, D written all over the e-mail. It is not reader friendly.
