Attachments - incorrect file name or file type

Nov 25, 2004 7:59PM PST

Windows XP - Outlook
Occasionally after receiving an attachment and when wishing to save this attachment, it will give a completely different filename and the file extension will be just called 'type'. Has anyone experienced this?

It can be either a word attachment or an excel attachment it makes no difference.
