E-mails I receive from an established list that I belong to are coming through without the message included, and I have to use Internet Explorer to read it.

I have been getting e-mail messages from a specific user group that I belong to for several years, and only this year have I started having issues with getting the complete e-mail message when I use my mail account in the Firefox browser. If I use Internet Explorer as my browser and open up the e-mail there, I get the complete e-mail message without a problem. It's only when I use Firefox to open these e-mails that I don't get the complete message. I have attached a screenshot of the latest e-mail.

The list uses MailChimp to send out messages. It worked fine in Firefox until earlier this year - it seems that something in one of the upgrade this year caused this issue with the e-mails. Please respond and let me know what can be done to fix this issue - I may have to rethink using Firefox as my browser if this can't be resolved.

Thank you!
