Outlook 2003: message body is blank when viewed

Problem:

In Microsoft Outlook 2003, when you view an e-mail, the body of the e-mail message is entirely blank. If you view the e-mail message first via Outlook Web Access (OWA), you can see the body. But, once you view it with Outlook 2003, the message body becomes blank both in Outlook and OWA.

Cause:
