SYMPTOMS
========

When you read an e-mail message in MSN Explorer, Hyper-Text Markup Language
(HTML) code is visible. The HTML is the code that is the basis for Web pages; it
generally appears as code and text enclosed by brackets.

CAUSE
=====

This issue is caused by an error in the e-mail program used to send the message.
The message gets sent as a plain text message, but in fact, the message contains
HTML code. MSN Explorer reads the message as plain text, and displays the entire
message--including the HTML code.

RESOLUTION
==========

To view the message correctly

- Go to http://www.hotmail.com and sign in with the account name and password
  you use in MSN Explorer.
  Note: If you are using MSN Explorer to visit the Hotmail web site, signing in
  will not be necessary).
