Default OE Is Not Reading HTML

Does the attachment file start with ATT? As in ATT####.htm?

Outlook Express message appears blank and has an ATT000XX.txt or an
ATT000XX.htm attachment:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351

And from:
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_santovec/decode.htm

Besides the problem described in this article with temporary files, Outlook
Express may have a blank message if Internet Explorer is set at View,
Encoding to Auto-Select. If so, disable the Auto-Select in Internet Explorer
and choose instead Western European (ISO). If your program has an option to
read HTML messages in Plain Text, the HTML version of the message may appear
as an ATT0001.HTM attachment (the number may vary).

When read in plain text and get the HTML attachment, what happens if you
open the attachment? Is it also blank?

Are the messages all from the same person?

If the answer is yes to both of the above, the problem could be that the
sender is not properly formatting the HTML.
