Emails in my MS Outlook have turned gray all of a sudden and I am pulling my hair out because it's very hard to read them now. Finally, after banging my head on wall for some time, I figure it out. It appears that Microsoft came up with this! *jeez* Why do they have to make people's lives harder than they are?
This appears to be happening when the email is formatted as HTML, and not text.
Any message that has any sort of formatting applied to it (fonts, colors, etc.) now appears with the gray background.
Guess why?
I have "Use Windows colors" option unchecked in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0, and the background color default is gray on there. And that is also affecting e-mail display in Outlook. LOL
Only these guys can be so great to do such thing. OK fine I agree that they made this ridiculous option, but why in the world is default background color set to gray instead of white? Don't you guys ask potential users or real users before implementing new features? *sheesh*

Ed, thank you. Glad my post was of help.
Yesterday I worked with my MS Outlook and closed the program. This morning I opened it and was shocked reason of my emails had been lost. I decided to use the Inet. I was really right and found out - download repair pst. It aided me within seconds and absolutely free of cost. What is more it had some interesting capabilities.
Alex, hello! thanks for sharing your experience and suggestion. Appreciate it.
