Hi all, I apologise for this off-topic question, but wanted to hear from a third-party as well. Recently, like the last week or so, I've started getting blank emails from this list. Blank as in no message text is visible in the email. If I do a ctrl-A however, something does get marked. Evidently there is a message, just not visible. This particular list is the only one I've noticed this problem with. I use Outlook 2013 32b on Win7 x64. Our work mail server at work is Exchange. Has anybody else seen this, or is just me? -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden # # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, D5:512b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # O< ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # http://tinyurl.com/ascii-ribbon-campaign # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # Please consider the environment before printing this email. # Join the campaign at http://thinkBeforePrinting.org # # MotD follows: A ship in the harbor is safe, but that is not what ships were built for.

Outlook doesn't do that by itself, but I have an addin that might help - Pocketknife Peek - if it's still compatible with this version of Outlook. -- //Sorin

The email shows up fine in Thunderbird on CentOS (well, I say 'fine' when in reality it was unbearably tiny text until I installed the 'no small text' extension; the CentOS 7 Thunderbird does not have some of the knobs you are supposed to adjust to fix this (it's the font size for the message encoding, and the encoding needed is not in the dropdowns in the C7 Thunderbird, and I'm assuming that's an upstream issue, but I've not taken the time to file a bug report yet) so an extension is required. The thread preview pane still has unbearably tiny text, but at least when opening the message the text is large enough to read; the Thunderbird tiny text problem is a well-known one). Several messages from Karanbir and Johnny were some that the android phone (Samsung Galaxy S5) shows an empty (except for the .sig) body. Again, not something I've taken the time to file a bug report on, since I mainly read the CentOS lists on my laptop after Thunderbird's filters pull them in my CentOS lists folders (which pulls them to local folders and off of the imap server).

I learned long ago to be real careful in this area.
