When I opened the message below all that displayed was an icon. When I attempted to save the icon all hell broke loose. My mail client was closed. After some attempts I was able to reboot and the spamblocker (earthlink) had examined the message and found nothing suspicious. However now I found that a message was displayed as shown below. A similar behavior with the message immediately preceding and with the same "i" icon. Anyone have some suggestions of what had happened or why the message behaved so peculiarly? Incidently the icon was "utitled" when I attempted to save it -- my common practice when a mail message appears to be peculiar.
