Nope as repeated before I have done that and that is not a solution.

When I view E-mail headers that are going to be a problem with Red X's,
I see briefly this in the header
>>
When an E-mail (that has http tags
in it that will show as red x's when read) arrives into Outlook 2007
(with Vista Ultimate OS and Office Pro 2007 installed)), the header in
the top pane first shows the message : "You have received an HTML E-
Mail from sendersname, but it appears that your E-Mail client is set
to read messages in plain text"

Well, my client is NOT set to do that (or anywhere I can see) and
after you hover over the message with the mouse, that header
disappears and it shows just the subject line.

Does that help anyone towards a solution?
>>

That disappears when you open the message or preview it in the preview
pane. Does that point anyone to a solution??
