See if these apply:
OLEXP: Message Appears Blank and Has an ATT000XX.txt or ATT000XX.htm Attachment
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351
 - If that doesn't help, then in Internet Explorer, select View, Encoding and uncheck
Auto-Select and
choose instead "Western European (ISO)". Then try reading your messages.
 - If the problem is only with HTML messages, and you have OE6 with SP1, go to Tools,
Options, Read and uncheck Read All Messages in Plain Text.
