I've seen several reports in other newsgroups of Hotmail users saying that
messages that they are sending are arriving empty. They hadn't mentioned
that they were forwarded messages. But sounds more like a Hotmail issue
and not specific to your friend.

I'm a little confused by your example. I presume that your friend is
Marlene and you are cbress.

I'm guessing that you cut out a lot at the top of the message source. From
the look of it, there should have been a section

It looks like Marlene is forwarding a message from her Sent folder that
she previously forwarded to you. Perhaps you had her do that as a test.

Is there any problem if she starts a new message rather than forwarding?

What about replies?

What if you send her a simple text message and have her forward it back to
you?

In any case, this doesn't seem related to Outlook Express and is a Hotmail
web problem.

Are you saying that your neighbor is using Hotmail or your are or both?

She is using Hotmail. I am not.

Is she and/or you using Outlook Express to access Hotmail or the Hotmail
web site?

She gets to hotmail via MSN.com

Once she starts the forward and before sending, does she see the message
text in the message composition window?

The message to be forwarded appears in the composition window.


After sending, does she see the message text in the Sent Items folder?

No! and sending it to herself also comes up empty.


I presume that you are receiving one of these messages and not seeing
the message text. If you look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3 in OE) do
you see the missing text?

I looked at one she sent to me and there was no text


Do you see any indication of an attachment?

Not at all.

Something I noticed (I just got back from a first hand look) is that the
Hotmail screen says "text only". Looking at OE the option for email is
checked for HTML. I could not find any place in the Hotmail setup that
would have set it to text only. This whole problem started about 10 days
ago. She had twoAV programs installed. I tried deleting them both. The
free one left peacefully, but good old Norton leaves pieces of itelf
everywhere. Some files can't easily be removed because they are in use
even though I removed Norton from the start menu and rebooted

Below is the source from one she sent to me. The email addys have been
scrubbed a bit for privacy.
