Unable to read messages from 1 sender, view message source says "Your mail reader is too old to view this MIME-encoded message." All other emails from other sen
Hello
I'm having trouble viewing email using Thunderbird (V 38.4.0) from a new sender (Gorilla Trades). When I open some of his emails, but not all, they are blank. When I view the message source on the ones that are blank, it says "Your mail reader is too old to view this MIME-encoded message". Note: I have no trouble viewing this same email using my webmail. Also all other incoming Email work fine.
Any suggestions? Dennis

What are you set to under View|Message Body As? Try "Original HTML" if it's not already on that setting.
It sounds as if you could be seeing a message aimed at users of email programs that can't process HTML-formatted content.
Hi Zenos I checked and found I am using "Original HTML" I also tried "simple" and plain text to no avail. How can I check to see if the message was aimed at those that can't process HTML? Or is it possible for me to forward one of the emails to you?
I'd be interested to see one.
