AAAH!! When I click to open my Yahoo! emails, it's just blank every time!?

So, for the past 2-3 days I have not been able to access my yahoo emails. I click to open them and find just white blank space where the message should be. I restarted my computer and it still won't work. I didn't email yahoo about it, because well, I wouldn't be able to read their email.

    The message is there. Your PC and/or Yahoo Mail are causing this trouble. Lets see if

    we can fix it. Follow all my steps. But do one at a time.

    First. Yahoo Beta Mail? Is that what you are using?

    If so Clear your browsers cashe.

    In Internet Explorer, click the Tools button, and then click Internet Options.

    On the General tab, under Browsing history, click Delete.

    Click Delete files, and then click Yes.

    Click Close, and then click OK.

    ----------------------------------------------

    You did that right? Now Completely re-Download all your messages. Every one of them.

    Wait until they are downloaded. Don`t hurry. Hows that?

    ----------------------------------------

    Well try this. = 2. In the new Yahoo! Mail, you don’t do this with your browser anymore.

    Now, just change your

    character encoding setting right in Yahoo! Mail!

    Here’s how:

    In the toolbar, click More Actions and select Set Encodings.

    From the list that appears, select the encoding that matches the message’s content.

    Note: Only one character encoding set may be viewed at a time. And in this case,

    changing your

    browser’s encoding setting will not work. Hows that?

    -----------------------------------------------------------

    Still can`t get it? Try Switch Back at the top of your page. (Don`t worry you can return)

    Hows that?

    -----------------------------------------------------

    Now you are in Original Mail Right? Messages all there?

    If not try this. = Select any email where the header information is displayed, but there is

    nothing in the

    "body" of the message where you would expect to find text, etc.

    Move your mouse to the area of the expected "body" of the message and right-click...on

    the menu that appears, click on "Encoding"...on the menu that appears, if "Auto Select"

    has a check mark, leave it as is...if not click "Auto Select"; then this menu will

    disappear...right click again in the "body" to cause the same menu to display again...then

    click on "Western European (Windows)"...you should now be able to view the "body" of

    all messages that you couldn't view before...obviously, if the problem somehow occurs

    again, do the same procedure described above again. I have no idea how or why these

    settings get "changed" or "corrupted" after everyday use, but apparently they sometimes

    do.

    Hows that?

    -----------------------------------

    Ok PC has problems then. Update your operating system, Browser, Shockwave Flash ,

    Java. Everything. Get all patches. The whole works. Also try Firefox browser.

    Note in Original / Old / Yahoo Mail in a pinch try this. =

    Put message in Print Copy. Then read it. OR

    Click Reply on Message to read it. Then backbutton out. OR

    Put message in Excel or Wordpad to read it.
