| | Can't see text in incoming emails I have Vista on my new computer and my husband recently added a signature to his email file at work with a logo. I can no longer see his text in the emails he sends to me. I also cannot type anything in the email created when replying to these messages. I should note that he has Vista at work also on some of their computers including the one he uses and he has none of these issues. Is there a setting I need to change? I've searched the internet along with this site for a solution and haven't seen this particular problem. If need be I can send the email property details to show you. When I got to properties of the email and show the details, it shows the message included in 'part 1' of the message. Whatever that means. HELP! I can't figure this out. |

| | Re: Can't see text in incoming emails No I already checked that. It is not checked. All messages with html and pics come through fine but the ones that added the signature.

| | Re: Can't see text in incoming emails Actually I can't see his html as plain text. I was talking about all other emails I am receiving. When I change to plain text format and I can't get any html which I shouldn't be able to so I am now thinking this is definitely a AV problem. We have McAffee. I will try them to see if they can find the problem. Thank you for all your time and help.
