Somehow my Outlook Express cannot show HTML e-mails. If I set the options
to text only I can see them-header & message. Uncheck "text only" and I see
only header.

The exact same thing has happened to me and I haven't been able to find out
why. It may have been after we upgraded to Windows Live Messenger. I can
open the email and the viewing pane is like a sheet of glass but if I click
in it, CTRL-C to copy and then paste in Word I can read the email. However I
desperately want to solve the problem so if anyone can help you it will help
me too.

Look for the WLM group in that web interface discussion group.
Sorry but you are in the wrong group.

In reply to your 27 Oct '07 message regarding Outlook Exprss cannot show HTML e-mails -mine is doing that and "text only" is all I can see and I just am unhappy with it. I thought I was the only one in the world with this problem - how do you fix it? Please reply. Judy

Huh! What are you on about? Whose posting are you responding to "27 Oct
'07"????
If you have a problem and whatever it is describe it in more detail and post
on the Outlook Express Newsgroup. This Newsgroup has enough problems of its
own.
Thank you.

Robear, surely the OP would have checked that one out first? That would have been the most
obvious thing to do.
I still want to know who the reply is to dated 27 Oct '07. Okay, some unknown in
supernews.com.

I'll move on............

OT:

Since SP2 was released 4 years ago, I might be suffering from CRS Syndrome
but IIRC that's the default setting after installing SP2 (and, by extension,
when installing SP3 on a WinXP SP1 box). If OP just installed either, (s)he
wouldn't be the first OE user who didn't have this clue. <eg>

Original thread:
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/browse_frm/thread/ad0f80a7c5e0d3c
(which took some digging since Google Groups search seems to be horked)

IN RE supernews.com weirdness, compare Judy's headers
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/f9dba1f78fc49fe8?dmode=source
to mine
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsupdate/msg/59ac78adfdc29840?dmode=source

Even if she hadn't altered the subject, posts made via that newsgroup never
contain anything in the Reference line except the Reference to the post
being made.
