I guess this is the boat I'm in too.  As I say, the problem seems to be
growing, but sometimes when I ask the sender to resend, it comes through
OK.  Like George, I have also noticed that many of these messages claim to
be "5K" or "3K" or whatever, but there's nothing that shows up, and no
relevant options under "Edit".  Sorry to be off-topic, but it's hard to
participate in threads that have invisible strands.
