Today I received 12 new eMails. When I opened one of them, which happened
to
by from my ISP, then the text area of the message is completely empty, so
I
couldn't read the email from my ISP.
Then on the OE main menu of messages, I right clicked a message, and went
through the messsage's Properties to the point where I was able to read
the
"Message Text".
But, when I click on the messages, any of them, in the main OE 6 list of
emails, then they all display "From", "Date" "To" and "Subject" in the
message display window, but the text area of any message that I open is a
completely empty and blank area.
This poroblem started just today around 1:00 PM. Earlier today I was
received emails and thir contents are displayed in each one's message
window
when I open them.
I cannot find any "option" that affects the display of message text.
What am I to do to display the contents of any message ?

Several possible causes and therefore several possible fixes:
1. Go to Start | Run and type
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
and press Enter
If this doesn't work carry out step 6 and then repeat this step.
2. Go to Tools | Options | Read | Fonts and set Western (ISO) as the
default.
3. Clear Temporary Internet Files and the Temp folder.
4. Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus.
5. Someone else reported that re-installing OE using the last method in
this article fixed the problem:
How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows
XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378
Method 2 works on earlier versions of Windows.
6. Eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other
won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just
downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

If trying everything at that site does not fix the problem try step one
(regsvr32 inetcomm.dll) again.
