Her reply is this
the problem when I try to open the attachments, it tells me that an error was made when doing so, therefore the message was destroyed, other times it shows a blank sheet.

expecting, from people she knows?

Yes she says some attachments from friends.
Others from Travel advisors and airlines will open O.K. if she asks for them in plain text. The error message says damaged in error. "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" wrote in message ...

Is she running antivirus or security software on incoming email? Disable
it.
