None whatsoever? Have you tried "HTML and plain text" for viewing? I think that your problem is that the mail is Multipart/alternative -- good explanation at http://email.about.com/cs/marketingtips/qt/et051003.htm -- but the text and html parts doesn't correspond. If you check the message-source (press F9), do you se a part that looks something like the example below? ============8<=============8<=============8<=============8<============= ------=_NextPart_001_0020_01C63359.64592ED8 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="windows-1252" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Foo Bar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: Re: Yada yada yada ------=_NextPart_001_0020_01C63359.64592ED8 Content-Type: text/html; charset="windows-1252" ============8<=============8<=============8<=============8<============= The text viewer will show only the message that is in the text/plain-section, in this case From: "Foo Bar" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, February 14, 2006 2:40 PM Subject: Re: Yada yada yada The most effective thing to do is to try to persuade the sender to change his/her settings so that they send that the text/plain-part contains the same message as the text/html-section. http://www.jewishgen.org/InfoFiles/PlainText.html and http://home.earthlink.net/~bobbau/email/avoiding-html/ are good starting points if the sender needs instructions. Note that those are for configuring the e-mail client to avoid sending HTML, I don't think that it should be too hard to find out how to configure for multipart/alternative, though. Other than changing your viewer settings and convincing the sender to send in a format you like to read... Well, I think that it would be doable to set up a filter that fires a batch file to extract the message from the html part. But it would probably be messy, ugly and terribly ineffective.
