Message Body missing in Outlook 2000

[Alj]

Hi,
I have just copied my pst files from one WinXP pro pc with
Office 2000 to another pc with Win2000Pro and Office 2000.

However when I access the pst file from Outlook, I cannot
view the message body. I can however see part of the
contents with the preview option and I can also see the
attachemnts.

Can anybody help?
thks

import = bad. it loses views and custom forms and screws up archiving.

the os does not affect the pst. the version of IE can affect the view of
HTML messages - there is a known issue when some don't render properly with
certain builds of IE. Another possible cause is the version of Outlook and
editor that created the messages.

Are they all HTML messages? Can you view plain text messages?

I wasn't aware a .pst worked "as is" in all operating systems.

The PST's format is the same for Office 97 through Office XP. With Office
2003, Outlook has a new PST format to eliminate the 2 Gb limit, but it can
also use the old PST format.
