John I have security set not to block any attachments. The attachments are there as when I forwarded the message to Outlook Express I could Tab to them as normal and open. Only in Microsoft Outlook do their titles appear in a read only box but I can't find them to open.

I run Outlook Express and not outlook, but in the case of outlook express in tools/options/security there's a setting to not allow attatchments that could be a virus. With that checked it will block attatchments.
