Shouldn't have anything to do with that, Ruth!

Looking at the source code of Steve's message, the following headers
describe how it's formatted...
Content-Type: text/plain;
charset="UTF-8"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
x-cr-puzzleid: {B8FECC94-E7E2-4C14-8043-E46BE669AF9B}
x-cr-hashedpuzzle: [a bunch of gobbledygook, snipped!]
Content-class: urn:content-classes:message
The actual body of the text was not readable as plain text, but was a
huge block of seemingly random characters. That is at least because of
the 'base64' encoding, but also the UTF-8 and whatever this
hashedpuzzle stuff is are probably adding to the mess... So your mail
program (Outlook Express) is being confused by the elaborate formatting
of Steve's message, I'm afraid.
Now, I'd typically blame Outlook for being not particularly good at
following standards, thanks to Microsoft's bloated ego... but I do
wonder what all that extra encoding is for, Steve?
Be well,
Mike D.
