Outlook 2007 Beta won't display the body text in any message

Have just installed office 2007 beta, most things seem to be working ok, but
Outlook doesn't display the body text of any emails. Even more strangly, when
I send an email it seems to strip out the body text, but the header and
attachments are left intact.
 
I have the same problem and I have noticed that this happens with HTML
messages; text formatting displays the content in both received and sent
messages. This seems to be some sort of security feature, which the user can
change, so that HTML messages are displayed. I can't find where to enable
the displaying of HTML messages, so I'm in the same boat as you!!
 
Great, thanks Diane. Did that and it worked for messages received since
posting.

Thanks Diane; that's mostly fixed the problem. Most old messages display
properly now, and seemingly all new messages received and sent since I
disabled the AVG email scanner. However, there are some old messages, and
some new messages that I recieved since installing Beta 2, but before I
disabled AVG that still aren't displaying at all. Is there any way to view
their content in or out of Outlook?

I'm having also the SAME problem. After uninstalling AVG, Outlook 2007 will
NOT display the email's text! It will only do it for emails from a week
before AVG was installed.

Plese help!

Uninstalling AVG won't restore the bodies of those messages from which
they've been stripped. Those are gone forever (one of the reasons there are
so many warnings about backing things up when using beta software and not
using it in an evnironment where yuo can't afford to lose data). It should,
however, allow subsequent new messages to retain their bodies.
