I am using:
Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition 5.1 2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
Outlook Express 6.00.29005512 xpsp.080413-2105
Office Office Outlook 11.8217.8221.SP3
The updates that I had downloaded were KB967715 and KB961118.
Windows Automatic Updates is enabled.
The read all messages in plain text is not selected in Outlook Express.
I have typed the first few sentences from an email that I have received by
means of OE. I think that this is MIME format.
From ********@****.com Sat Mar 07 06:56:41 2009
Return-Path: <**********@****.com>
Delivered-To: ********@*******.***
Received: (qmail 16749 invoked by uid 515); 7 Mar 2009 06:56:40 -0000
Received: from ***.***.**.** by mailer2.*******.net (envelope-from <********
@**** com>, uid 508) with qmail-scanner-1.25st
(perlscan: 1.25st.
I have cleared the addresses and inserted asterisks instead.
As far as I know I have not changed ANY settings in OE and Outlook in the
last days. I have scanned the computer system by Bit Defender Anti Virus and
Super Antispyware and the problem does not seem to be related to malware or
spyware.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards from seatbcsv.
