Just a suggestion.

How long have you tried leaving the mail to open?

I have seen a similar problem before and is was actually caused by a network
problem rather that email. If left for several hours Outlook would
eventually open the mail and attachment. In my case it was a routing problem
between sites that was causing the mail to go out over the wan to come back
in again. Therefore very slow to open.
