I'm not clear on your workaround. You mention double clicking a
RECEIVED message, The Edit Message, and Format to HTML. In OE you could
only do that to a message that you are composing, not a received on. Or
do you perhaps mean that you start to Forward the message and then do
the Format HTML to read it.
Are both senders and recipients using Outlook Express? OR is the sender
using Outlook97/98/2000+?
If you haven't already done it, shutdown and restart Windows on the
recipient's PC. This sometimes fixes the problem.
- If you still have a problem then try Start, Run and enter:
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
- If that doesn't help, then see if the fix in this article applies:
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. For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H
If you still have problems, and would like, you may send me one of the
problem messages and I'll take a look at it. It's best if you zip the
message so that I get an exact copy of it. To do that, do a File, Save
As to an EML file of a problem message. Then Right click the saved EML
file and select Send To, Compressed (zipped) folder. Then e-mail me the
resulting ZIP file. Alternately, you can do a Message, Forward As
Attachment of a problem message. This is not as good as the zip file
since the headers can be modified in transit which may obscure the
problem. A simple Forward is worthless since it does not include the
headers.

I am experiencing a similar problem. The sender and receiver are on
the same
network and both using HTML in Exchange Server 2003. On one computer
the
only way random messages can be read is to double click, Edit Message,
and
Format to HTML. Then the message will appear. I have set this user
up on a
different computer and look at the same msg and it opens just fine.
Same
with web access of this same user/ same pc, it opens just fine. On
the
desktop, some msg at random internally and externally, do not show the
message. I have uninstalled Office and reinstalled Office with all
updates.
Cannot seem to solve this issue. Your help would be most appreciated.

PA Bear is assuming that the sender is using Outlook and RTF format
which is incompatible with Outlook Express. If that is the case, the
message source would show a WINMAIL.DAT attachment which Outlook
Express
hides since it knows that it doesn't know how to handle it. For
additional information, see the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments
section
of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm#ms-tnef
There are a number of reasons why Outlook might be using RTF format.
Another possibility would be if the sender is using Lotus Notes and
you
use McAfee SpamKiller which can corrupt messages from Lotus Notes.

Why is this random and why is it exclusive to one computer?

This is known behavior. Ask that users of Outlook only send to

Plain Text formatting, especially if there's an attachment.
Good luck. [To keep track of things, it helps immensely if you
include all
of previous message(s) in your replies to the newsgroup. Thank
you.]

Sometimes I receive the proper e-mail, sometimes I receive a
blank.

I
tried to send an e-mail (with an attachment to this account) and
received a blank. I restarted the computer I am having trouble

resent the above message(same message, same attachment),
