I'm not sure if you have actually tried setting View > Message Body As > Original HTML as when I suggested it, you replied that "... there is NO html content in the messages, not even a mimetype boundary for it." It works for me, and I presume others who are able to see the HTML version immediately, have it set to HTML. I didn't understand at first that View > Message Body As ... is a global, persistent setting. If you still don't see the HTML version after doing that, please would you confirm which version of Thunderbird you are using? Thanks, Gareth
