Over the past few days I've received a few e-mails in ASCII format, but there is never anything to read. Could they be read receipts or is my e-mail reader not able to view them? BTW, I use Outlook. ------------------ Anger is a weed. Hate is a tree.
Outlook or Outlook Express? Is this happening to every email or just emails from a certain person? ------------------ Posting Spree 2001
Thanks for responding Keeley. I use Outlook, not Express. It's weird because it's not all e-mails. I thought they might be read responses, but I'm starting to second guess that because I've had two e-mails come from eBay that were completely blank. ------------------ Anger is a weed.

=( I know more about Express than regular old Outlook. They could be coming in a font that you don't have installed. Beyond that, I don't really know what it could be. Maybe a re-install would fix it? That's never the best answer, but it might work. ------------------ Posting Spree 2001
You might try using a different email app....just to see if Outlook is doing some kinda weird filtering or something. Try something simple...freeware or shareware; that doesn't have HTML capability. ------------------
OK, I know that the e-mails are Rich Text format(is that the same as ASCII?) and they are coming in completely blank from people that I haven't talked to in months. I've forwarded them to a web based e-mail service and even reinstalled Outlook and they still aren't viewable. Any other suggestions?? ------------------ Anger is a weed. Hate is a tree.
Rich Text Format is not the same as ASCII. Do you have a respectable word processing program to open the email with? Might have to save it as one type and then change the extension to Rich Text Format. Mango ------------------ Get it right or just don't do it! Resistance is futile....you will be assimilated.

Hey, thanks to you all for responding! Mango, I just tried that and it is still blank. I know that there should be something to see because a few of the e-mails are auto-responses from sites such as eBay and AccountTemps while others are from friends. Man, I used to be able to read these before my hard drive crash. Now that I have everything on a new drive, this problem occurs. ------------------ Anger is a weed. Hate is a tree.
