Alan, Are you sure that you are using the new sites? You may have not been converted yet. My screen doesn't have the Actions button anymore.
I try the view message source here and it works fine. The only time I page of code symbols is with attachments. I have download the attachments and they download as zip files; hence, the code symbols on my message source view is of a compressed file. Of I would need to extract the file(s) for viewing. When I enter www.hotmail.com, the website that I get log into is: http://login.live.com/login.srf?wa=wsignin1.0&rpsnv=11&ct=1282132577&rver=6.0.5285.0&wp=MBI&wreply=http:%2F%2Fmail.live.com%2Fdefault.aspx&lc=1033&id=64855&mkt=en-us Your website is probably different then this. I come to this conclusion based on the following: Click on "Actions" (top right of message pane), then select "View message source". from your previous post. On the site I use I only have a Reply Button with a Down Arrow to the right of it which takes me to the message options where I can view the options including the the message view. I do have problems with the extension too. 1. It does not co-operate with my AVG anti-virus software. I am unable to download messages unless the AVG resident shield is off. 2.It does not send messages correctly unless the AVG is again off. 3.The extension is timing out when downloading over 20 megs. This understandable but crashing because of the AVG shouldn't be a problem. For now I forwarding all of my Hotmail to my AOL account which wasn't even possible with the older MS Hotmail site version.
