Lurkers, we could use some ideas on this one. Ray sent me two good and
two bad emails, all from the same sender. Two display, two don't.

Ray is using Mozilla 1.5. I'm using Netscape 2.02, and since the actual
messages all look good I tried to display them all with my Netscape.
But Netscape 2.02 won't display them either.

-- I ran a character count and there aren't any funny characters like 7F
or whatever.

-- The messages have both plain text and HTML parts, and the HTML part
isn't using "white text" (which you can't see).

-- I tried to reply to the bad messages to see if the text would show up
in the reply, but it doesn't. This means that my Netscape 2.02 (and
apparently Ray's Mozilla 1.5) doesn't even recognize the fact that there
is a message body present.

I guess my next step is to manually modify the messages until I can find
the "thing" that's causing this weirdness.

Anybody have any suggestions?

- Peter
