I have received a few emails from a friend that I can not seem to read the
attachment. When I click on it I go to note pad and receive a encrypted
message. The attachments read Message 5. txt (97.3kb). I have never had any
problem like this before and also checked with the sender and they say they
have done nothing different when sending. I am using XP pro and OE 6 any
ideas would be appreciated.

Do a File, Save Attachments, to save the mesage5.txt file. Then rename
to an EML file (e..g. message5.EML). Double click the EML file and it
will open in an OE message reading window. Or you can drag the EML file
into an open OE folder.

For some more information on this problem see the Problems and
Complications section of
Decoding Internet Attachments - A Tutorial
http://pages.prodigy.net/michael_san...de.htm#problem
It's towards the send of the section.
