problems with pdf attachments
For the last couple of weeks when I receive mail with attached pdf files, if I try to move or delete the mail Windows
Mail hangs. Sometime it recovers but otherwise I need to kill it. I can open the attachment by clicking on the paper clip etc and everything seems fine so I don't think it's a security thing.

Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files in IE and see if that makes any difference. You can also compact and repair the WinMail database (www.oehelp.com/WMUtil/) and see if that has any affect.

I use ccleaner daily so that doesn't help.
I tried downloading the WMUtil thing and I will try that. Thanks. "Steve Cochran" wrote in message ... Try clearing your Temporary Internet Files in IE and see if that makes any difference.

If I go to one of my folders with an email with a pdf attachment and just move the email to another folder, it hangs.

I don't have a clue then, since you indicated there is no problem in opening it. If the size is huge, there may be some delay in moving it from folder to folder, but otherwise I don't have a clue.

You might also send yourself a message with a large (comparably sized) image and see if the same thing happens if an image is involved to see if its related to file type or not.

When all else fails, upgrade to Windows Live Mail:

Yes, Windows Live Mail does pretty much everything that Windows Mail
does, plus a few extras. The big 'selling' point is that, going forward it is the only free mail client fully supported by Microsoft. Incidentally, don't just call it "live mail" because that confuses it with Windows Live Hotmail. -- Gary VanderMolen, Microsoft MVP (Mail) Microsoft MVP program: http://mvp.support.microsoft.com "Duane Hebert" wrote in message ...
