I regularly, perhaps once a week, receive messages that Netscape Messenger displays as blank -- headers only. (I currently have version 4.78, but this has been happening for a couple of years). Most of the messages have been spam, but lately I have been getting some from legitimate sources who tell me they pasted material from Microsoft Word, although I have seen evidence of several different email composers. Page Source always shows multi-part MIME format, although most multi-part MIME messages have no problems. If I try to forward such a blank message, Messenger produces the message: "A communication error occurred. Please try again." This suggests a problem with html encoding, but I never see any obvious errors. The problem occurs with or without JavaScript enabled, but the non-spam, at least, isn't using JavaScript anyway.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening and how to get Messenger to at least display the plain-text version if it can't read the html? Is there some convenient way to test the html to perhaps identify a specific problem that Microsoft and/or Netscape can fix? Thanks for any help. -- Luck is an opportunity taken.
