Attachments don't show up
The sender is using Outlook's RTF format if that is the attachment
filename. They cannot then decode the attachment or correct for it from the
OE end. The sender needs to change their message format from RTF to Plain
text or HTML.

I checked the settings. They are identical for my wife's account and mine.
They both have the box checked that says "do not allow attachments...."
but
since it's the same for both of us, I don't know why my OE would download
the
attachments and hers wouldn't.
I did the Control F3 thing and here is what showed up.
Info in my wife’s email message details where the attachments did not come
through:
Content-Type: application/ms-tnef;
name="winmail.dat"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="winmail.dat"
Info in my email message details where the attachments came through:
Content-Type: application/vnd.ms-excel;
name="2007-2008 team budgets.xls"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="2007-2008 team budgets.xls"
Does this mean anything to anybody? For some reason in mine it shows the
right details for the attachments but in hers it doesn't.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just courious here but did you check the settings? In OE there is a
setting to not download attachments. Tools-Options-Security There
you wil find som settings that can be changed. I always recomment
setting the security zone to Internet Zone and then to uncheck the "Do
not allow attachments to be saved or opened that could potentialy be a
virus." Then click Apply and then Ok. Let me know if that fixes it.
The setting you describe still downloads the attachments. OE does not
know
what part is the attachment until after the download and it never deletes
attachments.
