Sorry that should have read email that comes through does not include any attachments, its not that I can't open them, its that they have been stripped out. I can send attachments to my self using Windows Mail. I am with OPTUS and they do not believe it is them. I have switched off scanning email attachments.

Sorry but for some reason I musnt have read the whole thread. I use RTF on my work outlook and the thread clearly explains that Win mail will not be able to locate the attachments. My humble apologies. I hope it works. Ken -- kencarse Posted via http://www.vistaheads.com >> Stay informed about: Blocked Email Attachments

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. -- Frank Saunders MS-MVP IE,OE/WM www.fjsmjs.com Do not reply with email >> Stay informed about: Blocked Email Attachments

Ah well I thought I had the answer when I read that Windows could not see atachments to RTF emails. I changed my work email to HTML and still no attachments this is very annoying to say the least.

Check the message headers (CTRL-F3) and see if its still RTF. Some organizations have their Exchange server set to override the format of the user and to use only a given format, such as RTF. So see if the message was sent in HTML rather than RTF or not. steve "kencarse" wrote in message > > Ah well I thought I had the answer when I read that Windows could not > see atachments to RTF emails.

You need to answer some diagnostic questions. When you view the message in your online webmail, is the attachment visible there? Are the missing attachments all coming from the same few senders, who are sending with Microsoft Outlook?

Hi, BD. Frank Saunders deserves much credit for his many posts here and elsewhere, helping users for years. His posts are still available in archives, and in occasional quotes in current messages. I was impressed and proud of Frank's dedication as he continued to post help here almost to the day he died. But the page you referred to lists only current MVPs. And, as reported, our MVP Frank is one of many friends and colleagues who are no longer with us. I miss him. RC -- R. C.
