If the garbling is caused by your Outlook Express rather than the newsreader
of the poster, you should be able to see the message properly by
Right-clicking on the message in the message list, choosing properties, then
on the Details tab, pressing 'Message Source'. A window should pop up
containing the original message before Outlook Express touched it...

Well, I know it works for email... I can't be so sure about newsgroups since
I read news in Free Agent rather than Outlook Express.

Kind Regards,
