I can see the attachments if I send from Outlook Express or my work Outlook
account - The biggest problem are mails from a sender I have had no previous
problems with - I'll check if they've done anything at their end

Also - if I send attachments from my googlemail or yahoo web accounts they
are not visible as attachments, but embedded in the email.

Thanks (so far.....)

Hi,
Recently I have been unable to view attachments in new incoming mail. The
size of the mail is correct for the attached file (eg 1MB), but there is
no
'paperclip' shown next to the header in the inbox. Clicking
Properties/Details/Message Source shows that the attachment is embedded in
the email. This is not file specific, as I can see one file type (eg jpg)
from a sender but not another (eg psd), but can see psd files from another
sender. I'm tearing my hair out - any ideas?

Thanks

If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook
Express will never find the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand
Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text,
especially when sending attachments.
