Can't receive attachments from Yahoo

"Michael Santovec" ...
I never received the e-mail.

What did you use for a subject? Maybe it got filtered out as spam. Try
sending again and I'll keep a look out for it. Be sure to use a
descriptive subject such as "Outlook Express Bellsouth problem". Not
something such as "here's your file" as so many spam/viruses use.

I did take Mike's offer up. I sent him an email earlier today. However I
called Bellsouth after reading the link
http://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=28183.0
I know exactly how bellsouth's tech support works and how they push back
on
MS all the time. I worked in the admin side of BS.

I did finally call BS tonight and after 45 mins I finally convinced them
it
was their problem, not microsoft's or my computer. FINALLY they are
putting
a ticket in. I can't even get attachments from yahoo addresses now on
webmail. Hopefully we are getting somewhere now.

I have a Hotfix (KB915800) installed on 4/22/2007; but that is for
Windows
Desktop Search.

I have sent a test email with images attached from a yahoo.com
account to a
pacbell.net account, and the images displayed properly in MS Outlook
Express. The only difference between me and thee is your
bellsouth.net
account contrasted with my pacbell.net account.

I can only conclude that your problem is with Bellsouth (which is now
a part
of AT&T). I expect that, at some point, you will be offered the
opportunity
to migrate to an "at&t Yahoo! HSI" account. I would strongly urge you
to do
so; that is what my pacbell.net account (which does not show your
problem)
is.

Forgive me for being confused here, but before I go back to Bellsouth
and
their escalation lines (which I know they will only tell me that it is
an OE
issue, I know how they work) I just want to gather all the intel I
can. I do
appreciate all the information you can offer.

I just don't understand how I can receive yahoo attachments in other
programs such as Netscape and MS Outlook on the same computer, yet OE
will
not allow not yahoo attachments to come through. I've checked the
headers
from previous messages before when I received them and compared them
and they
look the same. I just don't understand could have changed.

Apparently something Bellsouth is doing is stripping a required blank
line
at the end of the header section. So it was reported in an Avast help
forum.

It is damned hard for me to find a problem when email, with
attachments,
from my yahoo.com account to my pacbell.net account works just fine.
Since
the *only* commonality of the reported problem is that it afflicts users
of
bellsouth.net accounts, but no others, it can hardly be MSOE. If
something
about MSOE was broken, it would be broken the same way for users of
pacbell.net accounts as it is for users of bellsouth.net accounts.

Considering that nobody has taken up Michael Santovec's offer to send
him a
copy of the failing email that they are getting, I wonder if anybody
really
wants this fixed, or if people are just here to complain about MS
Outlook
Express.
