what does CTL U give you.

What is Folder View.

Folder view is the 3-pane view with accounts/folders on the left, message list (top right) reading pane (bottom right) Ctrl+u shows the html contents. I can double-click the message to open it in its own window and view html just fine. So it is something that has effected what I consider the normal mail-view (or at least the way I've read mail for the past 25 years.

I don't know if this is the same or related to the OP.

No, his issue was a corrupted mail folder index. The symptom, clarified later, was that when the post was moved from Inbox to another folder, it disappeared from view: ie, not listed. Not that the contents of the email were not visible. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

That looks like a corrupted folder index. Recreate it (right click folder, properties, somewhere). - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It is possible that the from header is being corrupted due to a MS failure to keep the mail headers standardized to the RFC

Interesting. I've been getting email from people using odd tools on PCs and portables that comes in as html mail with no plain text part, again in violation of the RFCs. They tell me that there is no way their mailer _can_ send plain text; they tell me they've called product support and the product has no way to send plain text. Often the html is as bad if not worse than the Microsoft html mail. I suggest install a con-formant mailer like T'Bird or K-9 or Aquamail, but there is resistance. Why people want broken mailers ... Well, I recall that back when the original MAC came out there was the concern that the ability to alter fonts etc so easily would end up sending "kidnap paste-up" messages. And they did for a while. In my DatabaseOfDotSigQuotes cached from the random quote generator is HTML has followed nature's example... bright, sometimes flashing, colors are a sign of indigestiblility. And yes there are still many sites like that. Oh, and the "unreadable small on black" class as well. Why? Why do people fly in the face of good, well established, well proven communication design principles? Some of these HTML people are fanatics with outrageous and irrational justification for using these flashy messages. it s a religious fervour. *sigh* http://www.georgedillon.com/web/html_email_is_evil.shtml http://archive.birdhouse.org/etc/evilmail.html http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/it-security/a-practical-example-of-why-html... And this is brilliant: http://www.zeldman.com/2007/06/08/e-mail-is-not-a-platform-for-design/ I'd really like to quote it to you, but I'd have to quote its entirety! its so totally apropos! Its pretty easy to globally set plain text in T'Bird. Its also pretty easy to set up exceptions if specific correspondent need that. -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

No, that's not a violation of the rules.

It should be. All recent email from eBay has been free of content in part one, and there's no competent way to complain about it. The contact us part of its web site has no selection covering broken web pages or email, and calling about the problem is an exercise in futility trying to talk about any RFC or "parts" with someone whose native language is not English. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
