Looks like the text has a smear virus

Are you sure you have attachments enabled?

Yeah and my original reason is still a problem

Not sure exactly how to do it in the old Outlook there used to be a simple show attachments in the options settings though.

if it's OE 6, just do this in OE

click tools and options
click security tab
in there you'll see 2 checkmarks, make sure you remove the one that said do not allow attachments.....

should do the trick for ya

just be sure you have an update antivirus on the system though because this could leave you more open to viruses if you're not careful
