Outllok problem with blank emails coming through

Outllok problem with blank emails coming through

Didn't find your answer?

I have recently found that some emails come through with no header and a completely blank email text. I have hunted around for the answer and have come accross something suggesting this is a problem with IE6 (which has been installed fairly recently) whereby non-Outlook sent messages come through as US-ASCII text and nothing can be read.
Does anyone know of a patch/fix/solution??

It is causing me real problems! Clients are sending me email and depending on hwta system they are on I cannot se the messages. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Many thanks

Could be viral
This could be happening as a result of a virus and since they are coming through blank and your system has yet to fall apart, you are probably protected.

I get these messages from time to time from people I know and from people I don't: Microsoft have been sending them to me recently!!

If they are coming from people you know and they confirm that they sent non empty messages THEN you might have a security setting problem or the IE problem you identified. If it's the IE problem, over to someone else!

Hope this is at least reassuring if not 100% of the answer.
