I'm having an odd problem. I receive a series of mailings
each day from the same company. The messages are
identical in content. Problem is, I can only open certain
ones. The rest tell me that "This item cannot be opened
in the preview pane. You must open the message to read
it". Then double click to open it and i get a
message "Can't open message". If I try to forward it or
delete it I get "The messaging interface has encountered
an unknown error. If this continues, please restart
outlook". There seems to be no pattern as to when this
happens. The only thing I can figure out is that the CSS
within the message is messing with things. Help?!
 
I've never heard of such a problem with CSS. You might try saving the message as an HTML file, then looking at it with Notepad or an HTML editor to try to figure out what's going on.

Don't open it. Try File | Save As.

Ugh....it errored out. "The messaging interface has
encountered an error, if this continues, please restart
outlook". I've restarted numerous time..the error never
clears.
 
Outlook Express is required for Outlook 2000 but I'm not sure how much
OL2002 depends on it. See if installing OE helps.

No on the the express.

Word is my editor, I've tried forwarding it just to see if
i can open it in another email client but i get the same
error message.

It's something with the way outlook is handling the
content. It's happeneing for alot of my clients with
variying outlook versions.
