I found a lot of info regarding this problem but none works, what I found, all says that the MESSAGE IS BLANK WITH AN ATTCHEMENT, in my case the message is there but the attchement is there and greyed out by Outlook Express sayind that it may be corrupted, so cannot open the attachement.
I cleaned with AdAware, CWShredder to no results.
Need help or I will re-format and re-install. Jaro
