Ctrl-U in the Netscape mail reader is supposed to give what
you get, but in this case, it doesn't show up anything
which seems untoward to me. I do from time to time put emails
into a text editor when preparing a complaint about spam -
I did so with this one and it showed nothing 'hidden'.

Thanks for the response.

John.
