Default Why can't you read html messages even after deselecting the do

Hi Sue. I am actualy having the same problem as Troy did. I am using
Outlook 2003 and the header of my HTML messages appear but nothing appears in
the body. I have enabled HTML messages in my options, but I am still not
able to read the body of my messages. I do not know how to get to the "View
Source" to determine of there is actually something in the body. Please help.

Thank You - Mimi

As I have received several from many different sources, including the
e-mails
notifying my that a post has been made to this thread, something must be
clearing the messages before they get to Outlook. But what? I have some
exploring to do.

Thanks for all your help!!!

news For most, it just says

"!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"
HTMLHEAD
META http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html;
charset=iso-8859-1"/HEADBODY/BODY/HTML"

Thanks again for your assistance with this.

Thank you for your reply. It is Outlook 2003. I have tried to
"view
source"
and it comes up with information about the e-mail.

By deselecting the download images box, I mean that under Tools,
Opions, I
have clicked the "Change Automatic Download Settings" box and
deselected
the
"Don't Download Pictures of Other Contend Automatically in HTML
e-mails"
box,
which was recommended in the help section of Microsofts website.

Despite that, anytime I receive an HTML e-mail, the message header
comes
through, but the e-mail itself is blank.

Thanks again for any help you might afford. It is truly
appreciated.

still do not come through and cannot be read. Are there any
explainations?

Thanks for any help you might be able to offer.

Open the message, right click the body, select "View Source". Are you using
an Antivirus product? AVG Antivirus is known to cause similar problems.
