Hi Richard, I found the following at Microsoft Tech Support.

OL98: Message Received from
   Outlook Express 5 May Contain
   Unrelated Characters



  The information in this article applies to:

       Microsoft Outlook 98 [also to Outlook 2000]



  SYMPTOMS

  When you open certain incoming e-mail messages you may see a
  blank message or the three characters

       ÿþ< 

  displayed instead of message text.

  In some cases, depending on the Internet e-mail software used on
  the sending or receiving end, the message may contain other
  random, unrelated characters or the message body may be blank. 


  CAUSE

  This occurs when the following conditions are true: 

       The message is created using Microsoft Outlook Express version 5.

       The message is a reply, sent in HTML format.

       The message does not use the option include message in reply.


  RESOLUTION

  Ask the sender to send you e-mail messages formatted in Plain Text,
  rather than HTML.

  -or-

  Ask the sender to include original messages in his or her replies.
