O2003 Attachments not being displayed in preview

[MwnN]

Hi,

In outlook 2003 I can see that an email in my inbox has an attachment
because of the paperclip icon beside the 'From' field. However in the
preview plane, or even if I open up the email in it's own window the email
doesn't has an attachment displayed, or any indication of the email having
an attachment, however I can go into the file menu and save the attachment
to disk I can then access it form there.

The attachment in question is an excel file, I've looked into the security
of access to certain attachments but from what I've read its not *.xls files
and as I can access the file via saving it to disk I think it might be
something else.

The Email is in html format too.

Any ideas please!

Thanks.
arden

You have stumbled across a MHTML bug/feature/issue in Microsoft Outlook.
About the only thing you could do is set the option to read all messages as
plain text, but that might seem a bit harsh since many like HTML over plain
text format.
