Unfortunately computers and computer software are the results of human endeavors.

Try going to File | Identities and set up a new Identity and then see if you have the same issues.

It could could also be unfixable in the sense that some emails and email providers are not compliant with standards and as such you can't do much with or about them.

Thank you! Unfortunately, I already tried that one a couple dozen times g.
I've also made sure "read in plain text" isn't checked, I have Java enabled -
I've combed through every command I can think of that might be causing this
but I'm thinking it must be a registry error. I'm hesitant to re-install OE,
though, I do *not* want to lose all my mail, folders, address book etc. again!

I hate it when computers act like people.....
