I agree with John... I open Dennis' messages in the archives and YES they are undecoded (unreadable) Also.. I notice that Dennis uses Hotmail.com and no one else... Could it be this is the issue from Hotmail? I wish I could find some with Hotmail.com to try .. but I didn't find. I remember Outlook.com replaced Hotmail.com a few years ago...
