Every time I open an email, I can't see the message, I have to open an HTML 
or .txt attachment to see the email. Any ideas why this is happening? I have 
a screen shot,

Thanks in advance!

These steps were written for the same issue in Outlook Express, but they 
might also apply to Windows Live Mail

If you haven't already done it, shutdown and restart Windows.  This 
sometimes fixes the problem.
 - If you still have a problem then try Start, Run and enter:
   regsvr32   inetcomm.dll
 - If that doesn't help, then see if the fix in this article applies:
   OLEXP: Message Appears Blank and Has an ATT000XX.txt or ATT000XX.htm 
Attachment
   http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=312351
 - If that doesn't help, then in Internet Explorer, select View, 
Encoding and uncheck Auto-Select and choose instead "Western European 
(ISO)".  Then try reading your messages.
 - If the problem is only with HTML messages, go to Tools (ALT+T), 
Options, Read and uncheck Read All Messages in Plain Text.  For a quick 
workaround for the current message, press ALT+Shift+H

None of those steps should screw anything up on your PC.  Let us know if 
any of them help.

Thanks Michael, I did all of that, and it still isn't working properly. Ugh! 
I might try to delete the program all together and re-install.

That probably won't help.  Is one of the two attachments a PGP signature? 
If so then the person sending you the email is using PGP/Mime encoding and 
WLM doesn't properly handle that.  This has been a problem with OE and 
Microsoft Mail as well.  The only solution you will have is to ask the 
person to not use PGP or GnuPG to sign his emails.

Properly?   What did the  Alt+Shift+H  *workaround*  do?
If that lets you switch between plain text mode and HTML mode
you just need to stop viewing all messages in plain text mode.
