Why OE did not see attachments?
I received email in an Hotmail account. When I popped the message into OE,
the entire message was indeed pulled into OE, but OE did not recognize the attachments as such, making it appear that the message had no attachments. (But OE displayed only the original body the message. It did not show the attachments in their ASCII form either.) Yet when I tried to isolate the problem by sending a message to my Hotmail account, attaching exactly the same (binary) files, then popping the message into OE, OE had no problem recognizing the attachments and indicating their presence. Can anyone explain this? I have included relevant excerpts from both messages. See below. The entire messages are too long to include here -- about 5.2 Mbytes each. I do not see any material difference.

Why OE did not see attachments?
Chances are that the message was sent using Outlook's RichText format, which
Outlook Express simply can't deal with properly. Ask your correspondents who use Outlook to only send messages to you using Plain Text format, especially if there's an attachment. OT: Your posts' headers (Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512) tell us that your WinXP SP3 computer is NOT fully patched! Check-in at http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com ASAP & install all critical security updates offered. Then make sure Automatic Updates is enabled & configured per your wishes; cf. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306525 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-IE, Mail, Security, Windows Client - since 2002 Joe User wrote: I wrote: I do not see any material difference. Well, I overlooked a difference that might be material. It was more apparent when I parsed the entirety of both messages, stripping non-header content It appears that the original "bad" message bundled the 4 attachments into one large attachment, presumably a WinZip file. Hotmail presents these as 4 separate attachments; but it also provides the option to download all attachment, which does open with WinZip. My "good" message, on the other hand, has 4 individual attachments. It still is not clear to me why OE does not display the present of at least the 1 attachment.
