Dear Russell, - your advice is appreciable, - is it also pertinent to
--Outlook Express (OE)-- ? this is supposed to be an improved one and not so
prone to certain malaises 'Outlook' has.
I have no company restrictions, only my inapt ignorance how to (mis?)handle
my software G so I am scared to touch it (change server).
(I never attended any courses in computers, do it 'try and err' and err I
do. I have an idiosyncratic aversion against manuals, - IMO they are lousy
translations by Japanese computers into US English from German.)
However: do you have some 'favorites' for the X you wrote?

Subject: Blank email bodies
Doing a bit a testing with Serafino, and doing some Googling, it
appears that Outlook and/or Exchange has a known bug with reading
signed email messages. See
http://www.answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=373666
The simple solution is for people to stop using Outlook and change to
a different email client. Given that mass emailing worms need Outlook
to work, I would always recommend that anyway, although probably if
everyone switched to email client X, the worms would change to
exploiting client X :).
Of course if changing to a different email client is impossible due
company policy or whatever, then you will need to complain to your
technical support, ISV or all the way to Microsoft to get the software
fixed.
Cheers
PS: I manually turned off autosigningon this message to allow Outlook
users to read it.

I think your e-mails arrived blank
because you did not write into it.
No no. It is a fuzzy effect. Due to the
signature/attachment, my Outlook,
my Norton Antivirus, and something else.
But I can read now the body of the (blank) message
in the window properties of the message --
details -- original message. It is not
so easy ... but it works. :-)
