My old PC was running Outlook 2000 --- I have a bunch of emails that I've saved to my hard drive on the old PC. To save I would just open up the email in OL and choose File - Save As - Message Format(*.msg).

I copied over all of the .msg files from my old machine to the new PC which is running Outlook 2003. When I try to open any of the .msg files, the email is opened except there is no body of text -- I only get the header information (from, to, cc, subject, etc...). I can, however, open any attachments that are part of the MSG file but the actual 'body' of the email is simply not there. I've tried this on several emails and still nothing appears in the body of the emails.

Thank you.
