Previously when I used "forward as attachment" to send a block of emails that
I had picked up at home on to the work account all I needed to do was drag
them from the opened email to the inbox and it was just as if I had received
them.
Now, I think it was with SP2 but there's been a lot of anguished words said
since then, the headers are corrupted and the body of the mail appears as an
attachment to the mail.
If I copy the email to a folder, edit it and remove the first three header
entries eg:
Content-Type: message/rfc822;
name="Your Order with Amazon.co.uk.eml"
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit
Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename="Your Order with Amazon.co.uk.eml"
And then drag the .eml file back into OE6 suddenly I can read the email again.
However there are other headers from the sorting and routing stuff running
on the mailserver here that are getting deleted which I'd rather was left on
the mail. It all used to work so simply.

Does anybody know what 'fix' I have to uninstall to get back to a system
that works?

It should work as before. I don't understand why you are having things
mixed up. Make sure you don't have any antivirus software set to scan
email or any antispam software running. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#3

Thanks. I'll turn the AVG off and see if that fixes it.

Not a solution to your actual problem, but perhaps a workaround if
there are not too many attached emails:

Just open the attachments/messages one at a time and then do File -
Copy to Folder... - select the Inbox - OK; close the message and go
on to the next one.
