If you want, send me the message as an attachment and I'll take a look at it
and see if I can figure out what's wrong.

Usually its a formatting error by the sender, but I don't know what would
make it crash.

If you go to Tools | Options | Read and check to read messages in plain text
only, does it still crash when you open it?

I get email from a group called "Clean Power Now". When I try to read it it
almost immediately freezes my computer. This also happens if it is the
last
message in the preview pane. This happens to me on this old Dell running
Win
98SE even if the email is forwarded to me by someone else that was able to
read it fine. There does not appear to be anyone else but me that this
happens to. The ZoneAlarm icon in the tray usually indicate that data is
being sent both ways but nothing I do has any effect. Even after an hour
the
only thing I can do is reboot via a button. CtlAltDel does nothing.

Any suggestions as to how to find out why this is happening? Is there a
way
to log what is happening that can be looked at after a reboot?
