How to convert html to text

How to convert html to text

tarou chabi 731

The default is html of owa, outlook (exchange online). For compliance reasons, if the user sends it externally, it must be sent in text format.
Is there a way to convert html to text when sending externally?

I know I can't control it in a remote domain. Can this be achieved by changing the header in the transport rule?

Thank you very much.
I set "Set-RemoteDomain Default -TNEFEnabled $false -ContentType MimeText".
But I definitely can't make the message format text with 100%.

From: OWA Tnef → To: Text
From: OWA Html → To: Text
From: OWA Text → To: Text

From: Outlook Tnef → To: yesterday is Html. today is Text.
From: Outlook Html → To: Html
From: Outlook Text → To: Text

Hi,
Thanks for the update!

While I am afraid this method (Set-RemoteDomain Default -TNEFEnabled $false -ContentType MimeText) may not apply to this situation.
As according to this link: Order of precedence for MIME message encoding options
the Remote domain setting has the lowest priority and would be overwritten by the settings of Outlook or OWA.
