I am running XP V3 with OE6 as my mail program.
I have had no previous problem getting attachments from this or any party
but today they have sent it to me three times.
I see no attachment paperclip or otherwise but others receiving same email
are getting the attachment.
I am running Avast and it shows no log entry regarding this message.

Any thoughts on if it could be something here that changed?

If you check the message source, (Ctrl+F3), do you see the encoding for
the attachment? If not, it was never actually sent.

Also, see it they are using MS Outlook. If they are, have them format the
message in Plain Text. OE can't understand Outlook's RTF, (Rich Text
Format), and will never see the attachment.

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

Thank you both
I see the message was sent from outlook 12 however they say they have always
sent me messages w/attachments this way. Everyone else has received it but I
believe they all use outlook not OE. I guess it was the format.
No longer important as I received it from then as inline now.

But at least now you have the reason for it, which you can share with those
senders. Hope you didn't just ignore the advice you received from the other
posters.

Often you'll find excellent advice on a newsgroup.
Before you use that advice though, consider the
ramifications of it being wrong or even dangerous;
how important IS that to you?
ALWAYS verify and confirm ANY advice from a
newsgroup!

It was their information that led me to this reason, Advice not ignored but
I do not control the senders choice of program and I am not switching to
Outlook. I have told them why I couldn't see their attachment.
