Through Apr 27 I could open attachments of all types in OE from Yahoo email
subscribers to my bellsouth.net address. Starting Monday I could not, and
this is true for both of my conputers as well as a next door friend who has
bellsouth.net email service. The problem quickly isolates to OE (even though
it involves at least 3 different computers and two different bellsouth
addresses). The reason is because I can get the attachments and open them
when I go to the bellsouth web-based email site, but when I access the emails
with OE, there is not even an indication that an attachment was included. So
far, the attachments that failed were .doc, .pdf, and .jpg.
There is a twist in this and that is that I can send and receive emails
with attachments to my self OK
I unchecked the "Do not allow attachments ...." block in my Security
settings, and that had no effect. I thought maybe an automatic upgrade may
have caused the problem, but then I tried the OE software on my laptop which
had not been turned on since before Apr 27, and had the same problem.
I called yahoo tech support and they said it had to be my problem. I
called bellsouth tech support and they it was my problem also.
Any ideas would be appreciated
