blank emails no body text sending receiving

I don't think I am experiencing the same problem others are reporting about completly blank emails because mine actually have subjects, and senders, but when I open them there is no body text. I also have sent a few messages from Outlook 2007 beta and those don't have body text either--both once I check them in my sent items folder and when the recipient actually gets the email--its body is blank.
I am running Avast, but stopping all the different modules and turning off the 'on-access scanner' didn't change anything.
Any suggestions?

This worked in OE6; I don't know whether or not it works in Windows Mail:
From http://www.fjsmjs.com/OE/blnkmess.htm
Several possible causes and therefore several possible fixes: 1. Go to Start | Run and type regsvr32 inetcomm.dll and press <Enter> If this doesn't work carry out step 6 and then repeat this step. 2. Go to Tools | Options | Read | Fonts and set Western (ISO) as the default. 3. Clear Temporary Internet Files and the Temp folder. 4. Turn off email scanning in your anti-virus. 5. Someone else reported that re-installing OE using the last method in this article fixed the problem: How to Reinstall or Repair Internet Explorer and Outlook Express in Windows XP http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=318378 Method 2 works on earlier versions of Windows. 6. Eliminate any scumware.

Note that AdAware and SpyBot S & D will each catch some things the other won't. Also, each needs to be updated before every use, even when just downloaded. There's also a lot more to do than just those two programs.

You mean it's a bug that the text isn't coming through, right? Cause it's not a bug that I am receiving legitmate emails--I mentioned this is not the same as the problem everyone else seems to be having.
I don't want to delete them. I want to get them in their entirety.

No. It's a bug that they appear at all is what she means. They aren't real messages. There IS no text to see.

I am receiving these blank emails as well, and I do not believe that they aren't real messages, as most of the ones that are blank are from Microsoft, and they are newsletters and, say, my horoscope, that I signed up for in hotmail. I receive them every day, and they do appear correctly in hotmail.
But I don't want to just delete them. I'd like to read them.

go back to the source where you signed up and turn off the HTML option.

Thank you, mikeyhsd, I'll try that.
However, I do receive some emails from Microsoft that are HTML and come through fine. AND, imho, MLMD should be able to show emails that come in HTML, no? Gmail does it, Yahoo does it.
Anyway, thanks for the tip. I'll give it a go.
