I use a spam filter called Mailwasher and can often read some of the email
text in Mailwasher's preview screen. On occasions I find that the email,
although having readable text while in Mailwasher, does not have any text
when it appears in OE. I don't feel this is Mailwasher's fault and suspect
that if I had downloaded it without it going through a spam filter first the
result would be the same - no text. Anyone shed any light on this?

Mmmmm. But Mailwasher isn't an antivirus program so it would not be able to
delete the text - if that is what you're suggesting. Also, the blank
messages generally seem to be of the *replied to mine* variety.

If you look at the Message Source (Ctrl-F3) do you see the message text?

Also, while looking at the message text, take a look at the X-Mailer
header. Do all the problem messages come from the same mail program, such
as Lotus Notes?

If they happen to be Lotus Notes it might be a similar problem to the one
between Lotus Notes and SpamKiller.

Thanks Mike. I'll have to wait until I get another of these messages (which
isn't very often) as I've deleted the two I've had recently.
