Hi
I am seeing the message in the normal message reading window. Also how do
you repair the mail if you open in notepad?? Don't understand.

I am using GRISOFT AVG as the antivirus. However, all messages apart from
these 2 have been in normal format - i.e. no problem.

Hear from you soon.

Are you seeing that in the normal message reading window or when looking
at the message source?

If you are seeing that in the message reading window, it means that the
MIME headers in the message are corrupted. One cause of that is an
anti-virus program scanning e-mail, or an anti-spam program.

It could also be a problem on the sender's end in not properly formatting
the message.

It's also possible to repair the messages to make them readable. To do
that, you need to File, Save As the message to an EML file. Then open the
EML file in Notepad to fix it. Then you can double click the repaired
file to open in an OE message reading window or drag it back to an OE
folder.

The exact fix depends on the what exactly is wrong. There are two common
problems. One is an extraneous blank line inserted in the header. The
first blank line indicates end of the header and the start of the message
body. The other common problem is corruption of the boundary strings that
identity the various sections of the message. This is more complicated to
straighten out.

If you want to read up on this, see:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2045.txt

IF this is a one time problem, and the messages are important to you, you
can e-mail them to me and I'll fix them for you. It's best if you zip
the message so that I get an exact copy of it. To do that, do a File,
Save As to an EML file of a problem message. Then Right click the saved
EML file and select Send To, Compressed (zipped) folder. Then e-mail me
the resulting ZIP file. Alternately, you can do a Message, Forward As
Attachment of a problem message. This is not as good as the zip file
since the headers can be modified in transit which may obscure the
problem. A simple Forward is worthless since it does not include the
headers.
