David, I assume you mean the indicator showing that a message has an attachment. I am assuming that you didn't disable the ability to receive attachments in your security options of OE. From your inbox, alt-v for views, arrow down to columns; look for the attachment indicator and press spacebar to check it or tab over to the show attachment button and press the spacbar there. If you tab over and see hide attachment button, then the indicator is already set to be shown, as this button will toggle between states. Second, if JFW is not saying attachment, then you may need to move the attachment button up the list. I have mine listed on top, just press the move up button. Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

I took it out and would like to put it back in now but the way isn't obvious to me.
