I'm using Outlook Express 6.0 with Windows XP/sp2.I'm getting mail from an
msn customer, and when I click on the attachment and save it all I get is
a
LOT of symbols and SOME actual dialog. But there is nothing there after
that
it says sent in MIME version 1.0 and then multi-part message in mime
format
. I KNOW he has sent saome funny stuff, but I can't see it.That is
happening
with everything I get from that person.....whether is has been a video
clip,
or jpgs, or whatever. How can I see these things?Thanks in advance
