Default Can't open attachments from specific user

We have 2 users who cannot open attachmnets from a specific user. When the
sender sends a mass e-mail, with an attachment, all but two users can open
the attachment with no problems. The two users that cannot open it, do not
even see the attachment in their mail.

The users are in a terminal services environment (Server 2003), connecting
to the TS through an RDP connection. All users settings in OE6 are
identical. The sender does not normally connect to the network through TS,
but when he does, all users will get the attachment.

We have tried configuring different things on the sender's local machine, to
no avail.

Any ideas, or suggestions, would be greatly appreciated.

Is the Sender using MS Outlook and RichText or HTML formatting?

Is the anti-virus application /installed on the recipients' machines/
scanning incoming mail?

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.

You can try to save the attachments to the words document folder then open
it with the Adobe Reader (if you do not have Adobe Reader, you can download
it from the internet.
