Over the last 3 days I have noticed that my email text body disappears after the email has been closed. When I attempt to reopen the email the heading is there but the body of the text is blank. I contacted Compuserve / AOL tech support. They had me open Compuserve in Google Chrome and it functioned okay there. So, it seems there is a problem with using my email that has developed in Mozilla Firefox.
