Alright.

When you receive/create a new HTML email, exactly what
is displayed in WM? What does it look like? Are you using
the preview pane? Or do you click the individual email and
open it?

You've probably looked at settings and since I don't know
what you are seeing, just verify to me that you are setup
as follows. International settings can vary - depends on
your Country. Check those settings against a good
account and make them the same, if different.

Tools-Options-Send Tab-Mail Sending Format.
Should say quoted printable - nothing else checked off.
(except send pictures with messages, maybe).

Send Tab, also. Check International settings button.
Mine (USA) is set at Western European(ISO)

Read Tab. Check International settings button.
The default for mine is Western European (Windows).

Security Tab. Put the check mark in...
Internet zone (Less secure, but more functional)

Those are the only settings I am aware of that might
cause display problems.

Hi VistaRookie!

Thank you for your efforts!

Unfortunately I'm looking for the reason, not for a work-around (like
creating new accounts/profiles), so it was in vain. (But may be helpful
for
others.)

The mail store isn't a problem, it's IMAP. I want to know the reason.

The creation of a whole user profile would be much more effort than
fault
searching.

(And perhaps the reason can happen once more - i.e. if it was a virus
after
all.)


IE would be the engine used to run Windows Mail,
so, yes, I suspect the same reason for both
problems.

WM stores emails as .eml files, not as MHTML or MHT.
The difference is subtle. .EML files will not run in IE.
You can save emails manually as either extension and
even as plain .txt.

Yes subtle!

By the way: IE failing with *.eml seems to be only an extention issue.
If
you rename WinMails *.eml to *.mhtml IE8 shows up the content of the
mail as
WinMail does.

No wonder: all of them (*.mht, *.mhtml, and *.eml) is natively a bare
text
content (just in "MHTML" format).


Here is what I would do, if I had the problem.

1) If anti-virus email scanning is turned on - look for this
heading:
FIRST:

Of course: I'd deinstalled anti virus first (because possible
interfering is
well known). Thanks anyway for this hint.
