    Resolved [RESOLVED] Don't install IE6 if you use Outlook 2000

    In case you didn't know this(I didn't see any posts). A problem with the mlang.dll file blanks out some of the incoming messages. Some wannabe computer techs at my agency installed IE6 without asking me(like they are supposed to). The fix is to use sfc.exe to restore a copy of the mlang.dll file. Hard to believe microsoft didn't test this--not really <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">

    Odd. I've got both IE6 and OL2K, and haven't seen any problems.

    Thanks for the heads up, I was getting most mail okay, but anything from Yahoo or Bigfoot had the message body stripped. Replaced mlang.dll and everything works. Appreciate it.

    Some info I found:
    Emails that are encoded with US-ASCII arrive without a subject line and (in the case of a plain text, non-HTML message) the message itself is also blanked out.

    Those were exactly the symptoms I had. The mlang.dll fixed it though.

    Thanx again
