If you would like, you may send me one of the problem messages and I'll
take a look at it. It's best if you zip the message so that I get an
exact copy of it. To do that, do a File, Save As to an EML file of a
problem message. Then Right click the saved EML file and select Send
To, Compressed (zipped) folder. Then e-mail me the resulting ZIP file.
Alternately, you can do a Message, Forward As Attachment of a problem
message. This is not as good as the zip file since the headers can be
modified in transit which may obscure the problem. A simple Forward is
worthless since it does not include the headers.

I'm havingthe same problem as John. It is only the yahoo.com senders
from
different people, family with yahoo.com addresses and even a recipe
club that
uses yahoo.com. It is so sad for us that no one wants to take the
blame or
try to find the answer. But, BellSouth is notorious for always having
things
"right" and it is always the users fault. I'm glad to see that I am
not the
only one with this problem.

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
