Hi,
Yesterday I had a problem with my Windows 7 computer so I had to power it
off the hard way. When Windows came back online I opened Windows Mail and all
my messages headers were showed, but now I can't see any content at all,
instead I'm getting on all HTML messages two attached files, ATT000##.txt and
ATT00)##.html (where # is any number, like a counter). For non HTML messages
I'm simply getting a txt file with the message subject at its name, which I
cannot open.

I also noticed on the Newsgroups section the same behavior --the attached
files. RSS feeds same thing.

I removed all Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail registry keys at HKCU and
the user folders on C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail
and C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Mail with the idea of
Windows Mail rebuilding itself. I added again my hotmail account, emails
folders were downloaded again and still same thing.



I tried uninstalling Windows Mail with no luck, instead Windows Installer
throws the ugly error #80070002.

I think the issue is with the rendering engine of Widows Mail, don't know if
that thing is using IE under the hood.

I would appreciate any pointers to solving this problem.

Thank you!

Never mind I figured out the problem.

For anyone having a similar issue. The problem was that for some weird
reason my temp folder didn't exist. I just recreated it and everything got
back to normal. I guess Windows Mail puts the email content on the temp
folder before rendering it on screen.

These are the fixes for a similar issue in Outlook Express. See if they
help.

If you haven't already done it, shutdown and restart Windows. This
sometimes fixes the problem.
- If you still have a problem then try Start, Run and enter:
regsvr32 inetcomm.dll
- If that doesn't help, then see if the fix in this article applies:
OLEXP: Message Appears Blank and Has an ATT000XX.txt or ATT000XX.htm
Attachment
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351
- If that doesn't help, then in Internet Explorer, select View,
Encoding and uncheck Auto-Select and choose instead "Western European
(ISO)". Then try reading your messages.
- If the problem is only with HTML messages, and you have OE6 with
SP1+, go to Tools, Options, Read and uncheck Read All Messages in Plain
Text. For a quick workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H
