Blank Emails in 4.79

Postby Brian » Mon 01 Dec, 2003 12:00 pm

What would cause a FEW received emails to have blank content when downloaded and opened in Netscape 4.79 Messenger?
Testing, by having these emails resent, showed content OK if viewed directly on the email web server or if downloaded to Outlook Express.
Why and fixes?
Thanks. :?:

Something like this could happen if you disabled Javascript in Mail and News.
Look at your Preferences|Advanced, I doubt it. Look at this link: http://home.att.net/~cherokee67/nsblankmail.html#bem

Thanks for the reply and web info that I'm not the only one to have this problem. Good to know the technical reasons for these types of glitches. (blame Microsoft!)
Anyway, I've upgraded to Netscape 7.1 and it doesn't seem to have this problem, at least not so far.
