OK, I looked but couldn't find the solution to this. I would think that I am
not the first to have experienced this problem, but hey, it's possible! :O

Firstly, if anything changed on my system, I don't know for sure what it
was, except that maybe Norton installed an update and/or MS security patch
and/or removal of Visual Studio caused this:

When launching OE6 for the first time, I cannot see the email body, just the
headings in the View Pane. If I close OE6 and then restart, no problemo.

Also, even after the above relaunching step, if I switch to another profile,
I again have to shutdown OE6 and then restart it to view the email body.

I really DON'T want to upgrade to Live, as I am quite happy otherwise with
OE6.

Thanks in advance!
