it's probably a charset issue. you'll have to compare the source of messages that do with the source of messages that do not work properly.

Subject: [guispeak] Puzzling behaviour!

                Hi all,

Can any of you suggest a reason for behaviour I am
experiencing when reading messages on this, and other
mail-lists, I subscribe to?

Some messages will read perfectly normally  whereas others
remain silent as I arrow down the page, line by line.  With
these messages, if I use 'control plus end' to go to the end
of the message and then arrow up through the message it will
read all the text the message contains, only back-to-front
as it were!

I am using the Turnpike v6.05 mail client, with text
wrapping enabled.
It is set to handle plain text and I would know if the
problem messages were in HTML format because there would be
a duplicate of the plain text message lodged in the list.
Turnpike uses the Windows Explorer interface and should
perform transparently within the Windows Environment.

The only more-or-less consistent feature of this problem is
that all the messages that do not read properly have been
generated using the MS Outlook Express 6.0 mail client.
That does not mean to say that all messages generated, using
this particular mail client, are problematic; very
occasionally one will arrive that does read properly.

If anyone can suggest what might be happening or, better
still, a solution to this annoying behaviour I'd be
extremely grateful!

Thanks in hope...

Clive.S
