This often means you need to click on the paperclip at the top right of the
message, and record the file name. If the file name is winmail.dat, the
file
is probably in the RTF format used by Outlook, which Windows Mail
can't read. Otherwise, let us know the part of the file name starting with
the last period, and we'll try to give you help for files of that type.

Thanks but I could not find a paper clip, the letters after the period are .IES\4S16... Hope this helps. Thanks again

Sorry, I couldn't find what to use for that. Some of the more common
ones are listed at:

To ask about any others, you may need to open the message, then type
Ctrl-F3 to display all of it, then copy the first few lines after the first
blank line into your next message.
