Am using Outlook 2003 - when people send me an attachment that is another
email they message, I can't open their attachment. I can open any other
attachment. Is there any solution?

Thanks
 
I don't know,... I sent an e-mail to myself, with another e-mail as an
attachment, and I received it, opened it up, and transferred it to my inbox
(after which I deleted it, because it was a copy, and I don't like keeping
two copies of the same e-mail) just fine, without a problem. Maybe when you
send one to other people? or maybe there's an error message, or just an
error? Sorry I couldn't be much help, but at least now you know that it is
possible... that's a little help to me, most of the time...
 
Do you have Google Desktop installed? Uninstall it and try again. There was
a version which caused this issue. I'm not sure if the latest release of
Google Desktop already fixed this.
 
Uninstall Google Desktop Search or disable its indexing of Outlook files. I prefer to uninstall it.
