I realize that this is an Outlook Express issue, but it involves reading
Road Runner mail.
Some nice people tried to send me the W32.Sober.O @mm worm as an attachment
to an email. Road Runner's Symantec Anti-Virus program successfully scanned
and cleaned it before it got to me (Thanks RR). However, the descriptive
text generated by the anti-virus program doesn't show up in OE ver. 6 when
the message is viewed. To see it, I have to right-click on the email, select
Properties, choose the Details tab, and click Message Source. When I do, I
see this (in addition to the full header, etc.):
_____________________________________________________
----SymantecAntiVirusScanEngineBoundary:427DDD05:30C1D60D
,ontent-type: text/plain
ALERT!!!
This e-mail in its original form contained one or more attached files that
were infected with a virus or worm, or contained another type of security
threat.
The following attachments were infected and have been repaired:
No attachments are in this category.
The following attachments were deleted due to an inability to clean them:
1. error-mail_info.zip/Winzipped-Text_Data.txt .pif:
***@mm
(. . . .Snipped text. . .)

Anyone have any idea why the above text doesn't show up in the message body
when I view it in OE. I checked all of the settings I could find.
By the way, full info on this worm here:

Thanks in advance,
