Attachments present but not visible
 

Apologies, I blame mild dyslexia I meant 'obviate'. I'm heading towards the
simplest solution, change my mail provider. Goodbye NTL, hello googlemail.

I'd still like to open some stubborn attachments, so I'm still looking for
that magic solution nevertheless but thanks anyway

Thanks again

Hi Bruce

I'm getting there, this solution works.... sometimes..... I can
recover
some
attachments but then get corrupt message text etc, the headers are
more
confused that your link outlines because AVG scan results appear in
the
line
too. Am I best to just pester NTLWORLD to do something about
'Cloudmark',
or
would I be onto a loser there?

Thanks for the help so far, can you direct me to something that will
show
me
what the headers should look like (AVG scans included) or do I use
have
to
use trial and error from past mails that have worked?

But many thanks for at least identifying the likely source of the
problem!

Cheers

In the last few days (and there are posts on other sites so I'm not
alone
http://help.wugnet.com/windows2/Atta...ict493907.html)
Outlook Express will download mails with 100k-ish attachments but
though
larger attachments of any file type will download to OE (the mail
size
shows
it has the attachment) no paperclip appears and I can't access the
attachment
in any way. This applies to mails from any external sender
(hotmail,
gmail,
etc). Bizzarely I can forward a mail with a large attachment to
myself
(via
my ntlworld account) and open it as normal (the paper clip is
present).
Hours of doing everything recommended with security settings and
virus
scanners, compacting etc has no effect on this problem. Help!

Attachments present but not visible
 

If in the message source you can see the encoded attachment but OE
doesn't indicate its presence, then there is likely something screwy
with the message format. Most likely related to the boundary tags for
the multipart/mixed content-type.

For information on this see:

ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2045.txt
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/in-notes/rfc2046.txt

The other possibility is that the attachment is named WINMAIL.DAT. This
comes from Outlook97/98/2000+ using RTF format which Outlook express
doesn't understand. In that case you will need a 3rd party program to
access the attachment.

For additional information, see the MS-TNEF WINMAIL.DAT Attachments
section of

No sign of Cloudmark on either of my pcs (both suffering the same missing

occurs when downloading emails from the server into OE / Outlook. I've

If you are talking to the first level technical support at your ISP,
they typically don't know anything that isn't in the FAQ for the ISP.
You may need to talk to second level support. You'll have to ask the
first level to transfer you.

If cloudmark isn't on your PC it would either have to be at the ISP or
on some system that you connect through to get mail. I wouldn't expect
it to be running on a router, but I suppose that's possible.

I've heard of hardware firewalls offer anti-virus an anti-spam services.
Are you sing anything like that?

Mike - Thanks for staying with this.

Second level response at my ISP have gone silent - hopefully they'll come
back with something. I have had a response from Cloudmark, and they are
assessing the details of the problem - I'll keep you posted.

I connect through a wireless router and then dircetly through my ntlworld
cable modem - how would I check whether my router is running any sort of anti
-spam?

Thanks

If the router were running any anti-spam software, the package would
probably have advertised that like these products

http://www.barracudanetworks.com/ns/products/

Although they seem more aimed at larger networks and not home users.
