Wish I knew more about all this but just trying to figure out why all of a sudden all my incoming messages are telling me who, what, how, etc and different types of things above message (which is usually not visible) and is all grey with heavy black lettering in the descriptions of who to, who from/ virus/mozilla/ X-UID/return path/mime version/ etc etc etc. NO MESSAGE.
So all you great ones, please can you help???? Jackie

Do you have an up-to-date antivirus program? I, surely would not feel confy about what you are saying. I don't think that it is necessarily a NS7.1 issue.
Where do you get the info which you are listing. In other words, what do you mean by virus/mozilla/ X-UID/return path/mime version/ etc etc etc. NO MESSAGE?

Sounds like you have Netscape Mail set to View > Headers > All. Go to View > Headers and switch back to Normal.

The mail headers tell you additional information about the mail message, for example, the full headers from one of silly.dog's e-mail notices fills up the entire preview pane, and includes fields such as:

X-UIDL: 2005010203330801300134rbe000fsl
X-Mozilla-Status: 0001
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-transfer-encoding: 8bit
X-MSMail-Priority: Normal
X-Mailer: PHP
X-MimeOLE: Produced By phpBB2
X-AntiAbuse: This header was added to track abuse, please include it

another e-mail might include different header fields, such as:

X-Virus-Scanned: by amavisd-new-20030616-p10 (Debian) at osuosl.org
X-Spam-Status: No, hits=-1.1 tagged_above=-999.0 required=5.0 tests=AWL, BAYES_00, EXCUSE_1, NO_REAL_NAME, TO_EMPTY
X-Spam-Level:

Alice,
Jackie sent me a PM, for some reason. I found out that Norton AV was in use. I suggested to check if View|Headers was set to all, and also View|Message Source. But, why would nothing appear in the text? Is this Norton helping, once again.
I thought that I had sent a reply, but can't see anything in the Sentbox.
There is a lot of that going around.
I will try again, and tell Jackie to reply here.

If you have View > Headers set to All then " .....incoming messages are telling me who, what, how, etc and different types of things above message (which is usually not visible)"..... as Jackie said. In other words, the headers are taking up all the available space in the message pane. Try it.

True, if you don't scroll. I did not get the "usually not visible" part.
This is another illustration of the importance to post here, and not to use PMs.
However, some people are not confortable.

I got another PM, telling me that the problem was fixed. Reading between the lines, I got that it must have been the Headers|ALL.
Starting today, any PM will be shunted here, even if I have to start a thread, myself.

Thanks for letting me know that the Headers > All was apparently the problem.

Too bad people are using the Private Message system for replies that should be publicly posted. I just checked and the PM window where you type your message clearly states:
Please remember, no technical support over private messages. Private messages are for private matters.

Sorry, but new to this message stuff, and am having difficulty with trying to figure out just where to answer messages. So am trying this place and hope that it is where it will go to the message board. Again the info on the composer was the answer and tks again

No problem, glad I could help. I thought you might be having problems figuring out how to add your reply here, being new. That's why I added that last line to my signature
