problem in receiving email attachments

Hi,

I have a personal website in which i have 10 email pop3 accounts. The
problem is that when i receive email with attachments the attachments
are corrupted. Most of them dont open or get open displaying lots of
errors msg. The email is complety fine. Only attachments are
corrupted.


Though when i chk attachment via IE means using their web mail url
then attachments are completely fine. The problem is viewed only when
i rceieve mail in outlook express.

You can try saving the attachments first and then seeing if they will open.
Also try emailing yourself with an attachment and see if it is received
okay. That would indicate that the sender's messages may be malformed,
depending upon what email client they are using. If they are using Outlook,
tell them not to send in RTF format, as OE cannot interpret attachments in
such a circumstance.

What type if attachments are they?

What error messages are you getting?

What programs are opening, or trying to open, the attachments?
