If the mail was sent from Outlook using Outlook's RTF format then Outlook
Express will never find the attachment. Outlook Express does not understand
Outlook's RTF format. Ask the Outlook user to please use Plain Text,
especially when sending attachments.

Are they sending using Outlook?

For most such problems, click on Tools, then Options, then Read. If there
is
a checkmark in the box before Read all messages in plain text, click on this
box, then Apply. Click on OK.
