Please define "unreadable." What shows in your mail message? Nothing? Random characters?
What character set do you have set for your encoding? What happens if you change it to something else?

I run XP and Outlook 2003 and I have this problem too.
It only started about 6 months ago but before then, everything was fine.
This problem occurs even when I am the only recipient of the email which was sent us To: and not Bcc

I asked the sender)
Outlook receives my emails from 3 accounts/sources: Gmail, Hotmail and my email address with my ISP.
The emails are perfectly legible if I were to read them directly in gmail or hotmail etc. If I resend the legible emails from say hotmail to gmail or vice versa, I get mixed/random results ie some emails are garbled again but some come through normal!
I haven't got a clue why this happens but it is very frustrating.
