@leocg I just went back and had another look. Ads were blocked on the site, and always have been (even though there are no ads), but when I turned off ad blocking for the site, the email bodies are back. So it looks like I'm good to go. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
@leocg Thanks for replying. Just as stated above, rebooting the laptop, clearing out the 3 options in the Basic clear browsing data option. I'm not sure what else to try.
Hi Folks
I've been using Opera for about a year, and love it. I've been using Zimbra for email for many years. Yesterday evening, apparently out of the blue, Opera stopped showing email body in the reading pane, and it's also not shown if I double click on an email. It's bizarre. I tried rebooting the laptop, clearing the browser cache etc. but nothing changed. I have tried other browsers (Edge, Brave) and they show the email body correctly, so it seems to be an issue with Opera.
Has anybody else come across such an issue? Any ideas on how I might fix it? Perhaps a setting I'm unaware of?
If you need any more details, let me know.
Best regards

@leocg Thanks for your help, again - the User-Agent 007 extension did the trick and seems to work great.
@leocg I tried User-Agent Switcher by esolutionsnordicab (first one in the list, and most reviewed), but it did not work to allow me to run the Oracle Cloud software. There appear to be several - is there one in particular you have used and/or would recommend?
@burnout426 Although the command line prompt option worked great for Oracle Cloud, my extensions were not enabled and I am unable to enable them because the Extensions site thinks I'm not running Opera! I guess I'll have to run with different options depending on what I will be doing. Pity.
@l33t4opera thanks very much for the details
@burnout426 Thank you very much for your very informative response - your command line prompt (modified for my launch path) worked perfectly, and I can now use my Oracle Cloud software within Opera.
The extension I had tried was User-Agent Switcher by esolutionsnordicab (first one in the list, and most reviewed).
Is it easy to locate documentation on things like the command line options? I could not seem to find it in the help.
@leocg Thanks for your very prompt response, again. Unfortunately the browser user agent switcher did not do the job. I guess I will have to contact Oracle.
Supported Browsers
Oracle Cloud Infrastructure supports the following browsers and versions:
Google Chrome 69 or later
Safari 12.1 or later
Firefox 62 or later
I'm using Opera Developer edition version 69.0.3638.0 on a Windows 7 64-bit Dell laptop.
Can I tweak any settings in Opera to make it "look" like one of the supported browsers above?
Interestingly, I tried the Brave browser and it seems to be supported i.e. it works.
I don't want to use Chrome or Firefox, but obviously I would prefer to continue using Opera.
@leocg Thanks very much for the link - the audio on videos works fine in the Developer Version
@leocg How do I get the developer version?
My apologies - should have thought of that. I'm running Opera 67.0.3575.97 on the Stable stream, on a Windows 7 64-bit Dell Precision M6700 workstation laptop.
Hi Folks
I use the WhatsApp sidebar a lot, and it's great, but if I want to hear videos or audios, I have to open WhatsApp on my phone. Playing Youbube videos in the browser itself works fine, so I don't think there is an issue with sound in the browser, just in the WhatsApp on sidebar.
Any ideas/suggestions/config options I can try?
Best regards

@burnout426 Thanks very much for your reply. I was under the impression that Firefox was also Chromium based, but I guess not (it does have a Chromium License covering certain pieces of code, but I guess the main browser engine is Mozilla's own). That's a shame.
@leocg Thanks for your reply. I only used PDF handling as an example of something that is customisable in Opera in relation to handling files of that type. But the point is that Opera does not offer the user the choice at the point where they click on a file link, even for PDF files. I'm not asking that Opera handle Office files, just that it would offer to automatically open them (by saving to disk and then opening with the associated application) rather than just saving to disk. As I said, it's a small thing, but obviously important to some.
Thanks very much for your reply. Yes I understand that the file needs to be saved to the disk - what Firefox is doing if you click the Open option is saving it in temporary storage and then opening it for you (so 1 click instead of 3). I admit it's only a small thing, but you know how clients can be. Basically it appears that Opera allows a simple customisation on handling PDF files (always force save, or open in Opera), but it does not allow customisation of any other file types (Word, Excel etc.), at least not that I can find. My client receives many attachments daily of Word and Excel documents, and make extensive use of this facility in Firefox. It would be nice if Opera had something similar, but it's not something that would cause me to change browser.
Hi Folks
I've been using Opera for some months now (Windows 7 Ultimate, DELL laptop) and love it. However, one of the clients I support uses Firefox - when they click on a Word document link (attached to an email), they get prompted to either open the file or save it. When I click on the same link, the save file dialogue opens, so I get no opportunity to tell Opera to open the file (using my default word processor).
Is there a way to configure Opera to prompt to open the file?
If you need any more details, let me know.
Best regards
Billy
