Also, if the workstation is setup as a DNS client, it can really
slowdown Outlook.  I've seen this happen before.  Strange, but true.
Take a look at the workstation's IP configuration, especially whether
the 'Enable DNS' box is checked or not.  Of course, this mostly applies
to older client OS's, like Win98.  Did you tell us what OS these client
machines were running?

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.
