Default PDF Attachment not showing in Inbox

1. Sender's probably using MS Outlook.

2. Ask Sender to re-send using Plain Text format.

3. Ask Sender (and any other correspondents who use MS Outlook) to only send
messages to your using Plain Text.

I'm using OE 6 with XP Home SP2 and all recent updates, Norton A/V
14.4.0.12. (email scanning now disabled).

A sender is trying to send me a PDF attachment. Not certain what mailer
he's using but I think it's Yahoo. However, I never see the attachment.

If I view the incoming message source I can see the encoded attachment but
there is no attachment icon showing in the inbox.

I can send a PDF to myself without a problem, the sender says other people
can receive the PDF from him. I have received similar files before from
the
same sender without problems.

This problem appears to be similar to that raised in a recent earlier
thread.

Grateful for any ideas or suggestions.
