I have noted lately that if I start OE on it's own It does not display
message bodies unless I go through the procedure of creating a new identity
and then reverting back to the original identity.

However, If I start it from inside IE6--ToolsMail and News Read Mail then
it behaves properly!
Any thoughts on what would explain this behaviour?

I no longer use the Default Identity when I set up a new install of
MSOE. Before I set up any mail accounts in MSOE, I create a new
Identity. If this is a virgin install, with no uses set up, as yet, I
then declare the new Identity to be the default Identity, and I delete
the original Identity. If the original default Identity has been use, I
import all the messages, then delete the original default Identity.

I have just had too many default installation Identities go bad to trust
them.
