Make sure you aren't set to "read messages in plain text only" under Tools | Options | Read and then see if you can read the body.
If not, then I still think its spyware, or spyware broke something that needs to be fixed.
You can try going to Start | Program access and defaults and then set IE and OE default and see if that fixes anything.
Also try going to Start | Run and type:
regsvr32 mshtml.dll
regsvr32 msthmled.dll
regsvr32 urlmon.dll
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
That will re-register some of the programs that are involved with the compose and rendering HTML window and might fix it.

Yes. I checked it with 2 Spyware softwares. Why do you think that I am
able to read my emails as HTML attachments but when I go to View->Message in
HTML, the body of the message greys out and I cant read anything! All my
IE security settings are set to Low.
