[Ham-Computers] Collapsed Files

Hello,

I am getting e-mail with the word "collapsed" in front of some messages. 
This started out of the clear blue. I installed no software, was not 
wandering in the Outlook Express version 6 menus or doing anything else to 
cause this.

I did look in the menus under "View" and see "expand" and "collapse", both 
were followed by "not available".

When this first happened I also got a prompt after I hit CTRL D to delete 
the message. It asked me if I wanted to delete the collapsed messages along 
with the others to be deleated? Yes. No. Do not show me this again." I said 
"No" originally, as I was not sure what it was or what was really going on.

After a while I did check the box to not show me the prompt again.

When I examine the message with "collapsed" in front of it, I do not find 
anything unusual. Everything seems to be just as it has always been.

However, when I do delete it, it is gone, not put in the 'deleted items' 
folder as the others are.

How did this start and how do I get rid of it? Thank you.
