email text missing when sent

I compose an email within Outlook and send it. The sent
email only contains the first character of the text. The
recipient of the email does receive it, but with only the
one character in the text. When I look at the copy of the
email in my Sent folder, the text only has one character.
I repeated the process several times with the same result.

The above was done with my Options set to Rich Text. When
I change my Options to use HTML, everything is sent fine.

This problem just occurred yesterday. I've been sending
emails without problem for months. I didn't change any
settings or install any new programs or updates before the
problem occurred.

Any help will be appreciated.
 
Is the recipient of the message also using Outlook? If not, his or her
e-mail program most likely won't be able to handle the Rich Text formatting,
which is a proprietary Outlook format.

Hmm. Have you restarted Outlook and/or your machine lately?

Yes, I always shut down my machine completely every night.

BTW, I noticed another post with a similar sounding
problem. It has "blank message" in the subject line. So
I'm not unique, but it also doesn't seem to be widespread.

Anyway, Jocelyn, I appreciate all your attempts at helping
me fix this problem.
 
I've searched the knowledge base and Google but I haven't come up with
anything else so far. If I find anything, I'll post back here.
