I'm going to assume that you mean you want to view your email as HTML  
when available, instead of just plain text.

This could be two different settings that need to be changed. One must  
be done by someone with administrative access to the Horde server, the  
other is a setting the user can change.

If this is not *your* server, which I'm guessing it's not, but rather  
your host's, then they need to enable inline html in IMP's  
configuration if it's not already. This is off by default because HTML  
email is generally a bad idea. Among other things, it can be  
considered a security threat.

If this is already enabled, then you need to set your preferences to  
show it by default. This is done in Preferences -> Mail -> Viewing  
(must enable "advanced preferences") -> "For messages with alternative  
representations of a text part, which part should be displayed?"   If  
you do enable this, you should at least block loading images  
automatically by default (the next preference down).
