I received an email with a pdf attachment. When I opened the attachment in
Adobe it was corrupt. I used another computer and opened up the message and
attachment just fine. I resent the email from the second computer to the
first it opened it again with the first computer. It worked fine. I went
back to the original message and the attachment was corrupt. I guess since I
downloaded it earlier, it doesn't download it again. How can I get the
original message to download again, in case I do not have a second computer
next time?

Thanks.

In general, there is no way from the client side to force a redownload.
What type of account are you using?

IMAP accounts don't download then delete the way POP does. The original
message is on the server still and should still be in the folder where is
was originally. Can't you simply drag the attachment fro the folder to your
hard drive and attempt to open it again?
