Hi JohnB,

I don't have a definitive answer, but have two questions.

Is more than one sender involved?

There might be a clue provided by checking the properties, details,
message source of an e-mail known to have an attachment. Is there a
large block of coded text present that would be there for an attachment?
This should tell us if the attachment is not displayed by OE or if the
attachment has been stripped before delivery.

Through Apr 27 I could open attachments of all types in OE from Yahoo
email
subscribers to my bellsouth.net address. Starting Monday I could not,
and
this is true for both of my conputers as well as a next door friend who
has
bellsouth.net email service. The problem quickly isolates to OE (even
though
it involves at least 3 different computers and two different bellsouth
addresses). The reason is because I can get the attachments and open
them
when I go to the bellsouth web-based email site, but when I access the
emails
with OE, there is not even an indication that an attachment was
included. So
far, the attachments that failed were .doc, .pdf, and .jpg.
There is a twist in this and that is that I can send and receive
emails
with attachments to my self OK
I unchecked the "Do not allow attachments ...." block in my Security
settings, and that had no effect. I thought maybe an automatic upgrade
may
have caused the problem, but then I tried the OE software on my laptop
which
had not been turned on since before Apr 27, and had the same problem.
I called yahoo tech support and they said it had to be my problem. I
called bellsouth tech support and they it was my problem also.
Any ideas would be appreciated
