All of a sudden in the last few weeks, subscription emails that had
always come to me as beautiful html pages now come as text, with a
bunch of links and no images. I'm thinking maybe it was an update
that's caused the problem. I'm using Outlook 2003 (11.8206.8202) SP3
on Win XP.

Any suggestions?

We know of an issue on Vista which is fixed by a hotfix
(http://support.microsoft.com/kb/951982) I don't see where it says vista
only, so it might also work for xp.

Thanks. I'll give it a shot.

Any luck with the hotfix? I also get html emails in plain text with all tags
and I too use Office 2003 and Win XP.
Thanks,

I haven't done it yet. I'm scared it's going to screw up my system!

While it's possible it may screw it up, it's rare. Others have reported
using this one without problems and that it fixed the issue - "worked like a
charm" is the typical response.

Okay, I installed it. Ones that displayed as text still display as
text, but I kind of expected that. I guess I'll see over the next few
days whether it worked. It did NOT disrupt my Outlook in any way.

It didn't work on new mail? Did you reboot?

I'm pretty sure I've rebooted since then, but just in case, I'll reboot
right now.

The problem seems to be intermittent. The same newsletter will have
been coming to me as html, then boom, this morning it's an ugly text
file.
