hi all, odd one this. i've just been sent a message (i'm using O.E. by the way). this message is supposed to have 5 or 6 attachments, word files to be exact. my problem is, at the bottom of the actual message itself is a list of 6 file names, but jfw tells me there are no actual attachments. when i go into the message properties, i went into message source and found out it's a multi-part message. first part is plain text as it should be. the next part says the following: ------_=_NextPart_001_01C5523E.CDACCD92 Content-Type: application/msword; name="Lyon - xxxxx.doc" Content-Transfer-Encoding: base64 Content-Description: Lyon - xxxxx.doc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="Lyon - xxxxx.doc" i've changed the file names mentioned for my own peace of mind. i had the first file name highlighted when i went into properties and this is the one taht appears above in the message source stuff. that appears to say this/are attachments. but i can't figure a way to get to them. can anyone suggest what's going on? kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
