HELP: how can I make windows live mail 2011 show the email body again

Why? WEmail 2012 is far superior to WLM 2011. And... and it shows the body of messages

Ok thanks ! It's too bad I would of liked to keep the 2011 version

As a precaution: Back up your WLM information in %userprofile%\AppData\Local\

• 
  --> copy "Windows Live Mail" "Windows Live Mail_2011"
• Uninstall WLM 2011 using Control Panel "Programs and Features"
• Wipe leftover bits of WLM 2011 using Revo Revo Uninstaller (freeware version)
• Reboot your system and
• Install WEmail using the Windows Essentials (WE) standalone installer (not the web shim installer)
  --> WE standlone install page: How do I install Windows Essentials while offline?
  --> WE English direct download (run, save, cancel)

I still think 2012 is flacky

Thanks for the info Robin ! Have you ever encountered any problems with the 2011 version ?

@Robin: Other than the send to category, could you be a little more specific?

A quick Google search Windows Live Mail 2011 problems or a SF search for Windows Live Mail 2011 returns many issues with WLM 2011. I assisted on many of those issues here on SF. When WEmail 2012 was availalbe (and running well on my machine) I recommended moving to the latest release. I don't recall an issue that was not resolved.

@Lasar1971: If you are happy with WLM 2011, then sure stay on it. If it ain't broke.... don't fix it. however, if WLM 2011 is broken or acting odd, there are remedies.

Since I don't have much information on the problem, I'll start by asking you to check your system for malware

@Robin: I did ask you a question which went unanswered. Then I contested your statement regarding no problems on WLM 2011. We simply have different experiences with it.

I'm trying to help Lasar1971 fix this issue, not yours. I've taken your precaution into consideration - thank you.

Sorry, I wasn't clear. I've edited post 14 to clarifiy this.

@Lasar1971: The scan was a recommendation for you. Please scan your system as posted in the second part of post# 14. If there are any threats found, post the information.

Thanks, Bill

sorry for the confusion :)

Ok good, now continue with the other scans in post# 14. Malwarebytes is only one tool.
