Ok so I have reviewed all these posts and I'm lost. I am currenty
experiencing the same problem. Some - very few - attachments are coming
through. Most are not. What was the solution?

Frank, I got my husband to use my email account on his laptop (MS XP /

worked normally. Meanwhhile, I've put a note out to my email host company
like you suggested.

I'm not sure what you mean by no email attachments coming through. Windows
Mail will download any attachment. If they are not downloading then
something besides Windows Mail is blocking them. It is possible for an ISP
to do this but more often it is an anti-virus scanning email. If the
attachment is downloading but not opening, can you save it to your hard
drive and optn it from there?

Frank, as it happens, this option was already un-checked as the default on
my
laptop, so no progress there.

It seems to me that Windows Mail + Vista Home Premium maybe just does not
work?

Maybe I'd be better biting the bullet and seeing if I can afford to buy
Office Standard 2007 and getting Outlook and moving from the installed
Works8.5 software too?

I've had Norton Un-installed & pc re-booted, but my problem persists:
no
email attachments coming through.

Hi, BD.

Frank Saunders deserves much credit for his many posts here and elsewhere,
helping users for years. His posts are still available in archives, and in
occasional quotes in current messages. I was impressed and proud of Frank's
dedication as he continued to post help here almost to the day he died.

But the page you referred to lists only current MVPs. And, as reported, our
MVP Frank is one of many friends and colleagues who are no longer with us.
I miss him.
